  • There are few things that Ben Heck loves more than to teardown the newest gaming console release, watch how he unboxes the XBox One S and takes apart each component as he goes, including the controller. We learn how cost savings have been made with design alterations to the chassis and the printed circuit boards. Ben also compares the XBox One S side by side with the original XBox One and discovers that a connector is missing, which one could it be? The power supply is one major change with the new XBox console, compared to the early days where it was practically a huge brick! Ben also highlights the changes in the CPU/GPU heatsink and the limitations of hacking the HDMI ports on the board while considering if it can be turned into a laptop. Do you think there's something else we can do with it? Let us know on the element14 Community, where you can learn about upcoming episodes and join The Ben Heck Show team.

    Instead of making an Xbox One laptop, how about trying to fit one into a 4K TV, so it's an all-in-one device like an iMac? TVs are pretty thin these days so I think it would be quite a challenge to include a full games console!

      That would be an awesome idea, bet the switching from TV to xbox may be an issue doing it via software rather than needing some kind of switch.

    Ooh... That is one sexy teardown. I seriously love it when companies take into consideration how they assemble their stuff. Makes it look so clean and easy.
    Also, I know this isn't the Element14 board, and it's an absolutely asinine idea, but I recently was checking out people building PCs in old NES cases. I think a FauxBox One may be pretty cool. Repurpose the case to mount something completely different in it after you do the inevitable laptop mod. Leave nothing to waste. :P

    Hi Ben just discovered your channel, I have also subscribed and I will share it around; your level headed tear downs give a clear advantage to he XBOX 1 S, better controller, newer components and quality built. I will continue to support your channel as what you are doing for less able Gamers is important work, as Games can help reduce feelings of isolation and bring people together regardless of ability. Happy New Year 2017 I look forwards to more of your great content Respect+Peace ::D

    18:25 TMDS (HDMI) actually uses three differential pairs on three "channels". The other pair is PLL/clock. As for those TDMS traces, only one runs to the chipset as it's HDMI input or capture. The other HDMI ports runs to a TMDS controller and from there directly to the APU.

  • @joeevans84
    @joeevans84 7 років тому

    Hey Ben, decent teardown yet again.
    One key thing you left out. The Xbox one S APU has supposedly been upgraded to 14nm FinFet drastically reducing power requirements and heat output which is one of the biggest reasons this console exists, the new proccess let MS make a much cheaper system.

    Anybody looking at this video in the present, the Xbox one S does do 4k upscaling in games now, not just for 4k video streaming. When this video came out the feature was not implemented. The Xbox one S also does native 1440p gaming at 60 frames per second.

    3. Nice custom wood case??? mmm...
    4. Maybe try to make it REALLY slim... The heat sink looks about as slim as you could get it but...

  • @beejc1128
    @beejc1128 7 років тому

    There are laptops now with 4k screens, so I am sure you could source one for a Laptop One S Project. IF you decide to go with making a laptop, I was thinking that this time you could incorporate a keyboard. I use a keyboard with my Xbox one all the time, especially when setting up accounts on a game, or searching for movies (Which would look great with the 4k display you source!)
    **Side note, you were talking about the one power switch board that had circuitry but no chips. It could be like that because the One S controller now uses Bluetooth instead of Wifi connections. Just a thought!

    An Xbox One Slim tablet would be pretty cool, especially if you could make it battery powered, and maybe hang on the wall. BUT I personally think an Xbox Slim integrated into a big screen TV would be cooler and more interesting to see being done since I haven't seen anything like it yet. Ive wall mounted all my TV's in my house but they all still have consoles, blu-ray players or computers still tethered to them. So yes, it's wall mounted but I still have plenty of cables running to devices that STILL require a shelf or table for them to sit on. My eventual goal is to eliminate all cables tying me down from an all wall mounted setup that would seem to "float" off the wall. So a big screen Xbox/TV combo being made would be pretty cool to see.

  • @gamedalfthegrey
    @gamedalfthegrey 7 років тому

    I wonder if Ben has some thoughts about hacking the system and somehow making it even smaller. The individual internal parts look like they're covered in more plastic. Maybe liquidcool the system instead of using a heat sink and a large fan.
    Either way I cant wait to see what Ben does with it!

  • @retropolis1
    @retropolis1 7 років тому

    Hey Ben, there is one thing you got wrong: The Xbox One S does an upscale of game graphics. So you can actually play games in 4k, but it's of course only upscaled 4k. Looks better than normal 1080p , though.

  • @ogxbox
    @ogxbox 7 років тому

    I'd like to see you build this into a wearable unit. You would build the xbox one and batteries into a backpack-type contraption that would actually go on the front. (So you could sit down and play it.)
    You would make a helmet and build the screen/s and audio into it. (As well as refreshment accommodations and possibly waste management.)
    The emphasis would be on EXTREME gamers looking for all advantages mods can give them without actually cheating, as well as the extreme laziness that comes with being a gamer. Not having to get up for anything at all.
    The waste management is really a goof, and wouldn't be necessary for portability... but would certainly be something different that would make it a poopular build.

  • @MegamanEXEv2
    @MegamanEXEv2 7 років тому

    Ben didn't mention the biggest changes, which are that the APU is manufactured using 16nm FinFET now and thats how it produces less heat. In addition. the GPU half of it is clocked higher now, boosting performance in some titles.

    5:52, yeah it just sounds like a jet engine when you game for longer than 5 minutes. My Xbox One rarely has to spin the fan up that much. In fact I have only heard my Xbox One fan spin up twice since I have had it (and both times it only spun up for about a minute), and I was a day one purchaser of both systems. Hopefully since the Xbox One S' APU went through a die shrink, it wont be like the PS4 is in terms of how much sound it puts off.

    I think you should make a Hand held xbox one. Like you did with the Dreamcast! XBOP

    Funny that you mention Ben Affleck. Because he was doing the exact same thing as you in the movie Paycheck.

    What I like about the Xbox One S is they made the fan lighter unlike the 360 and the One
