The Slim index in the title describes one of the key differences from the original Playstation 4 — a thinner and more compact body. But there is no fundamental difference between this model and its predecessor. So, the Sony PlayStation 4 Slim game console received Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless modules, the processor became somewhat more powerful, but the RAM volumes and graphics card performance remained the same — they are, however, quite enough for FullHD games with high detail.

A driveless version of the fifth generation of Sony's hit console, loaded to the max, in order to provide comfortable gameplay in 4K at frame rates up to 120 fps. To do this, the set-top box was armed with a powerful hardware “hardware” as part of an AMD Ryzen Zen 2 hybrid 8-core 16-thread processor, an AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based graphics core with a performance of more than 10 teraflops (variable frequency up to 2.23 GHz) and a PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid-state drive for 825 GB.

Like the original, it works with MS Duo cards and UMDs and can be used not only for games, but also as a player and for accessing

A very advanced portable console, in fact, more like a multimedia centre than a pure gaming device. So, she can play videos, music and photos, has Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth modules, and a set of software includes social networking clients. The 5" OLED display has a resolution of 960x544 and is equipped with a sensor; the rear panel is also touch-sensitive, which, in combination with the built-in gyroscope, provides advanced control in games. Games are delivered on special cards designed specifically for Vita.

In fact, this portable console is a low-cost version of the PSP and is a device for those who need games first of all, and additional features are not so critical. So, it does not have a Wi-Fi module and does not support network access at all, the screen has a resolution of 480x272, and the hardware includes a modest 333 MHz processor and 64 MB of RAM. On the other hand, it is equipped with a UMD disc drive and supports PSP games without limitation. Traditionally, there is a headphone output and a microphone.

Quite an interesting variation on the theme of the original PlayStation 3. On the one hand, the new console has lost a memory card slot and half of the USB ports (Slim has 2 of them). On the other hand, the volume of the built-in storage has increased to 120 GB (in the minimum configuration), and power consumption has decreased by 30% with the same hardware basis: 8-core processor with 3.2 GB, 256 MB of RAM and a Blu-ray drive. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, integration with the PlayStation Network and even the installation of additional software from the PlayStation Store.

Another variation on the PSP theme, this time from 2009. This model immediately catches the eye due to the non-standard, within the line, case, made in the slider form factor. For the first time among the models of the family, in addition to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth support appeared, but there is no UMD drive, the console only works with memory cards. The hardware is traditional — a 333 MHz processor and 64 MB of RAM, but the screen has become somewhat smaller — 3.8 ". Traditionally, integration with the PlayStation 3 and PS Network support are provided.

From a technical point of view, this console is outdated: the processor frequency is only 294 MHz, the RAM is 32 MB, and the overall set of features is not comparable to the successor to the PlayStation 3. On the other hand, version 2 has long been one of the standards, and it is written for it a huge number of games. The set-top box can be used as a media centre for watching movies from DVD with 5.1 sound; in addition to optical discs, memory cards are also supported. The package includes a DualShock2 joystick.

An advanced game console, the successor to the popular PlayStation 2 model. Compared to its predecessor, it has acquired a much more powerful hardware platform: for example, the processor has 8 cores at 3.2 GHz, the amount of RAM is 512 MB, it has its own drive (from 20 to 80 GB) , and supported media include Blu-ray and memory cards. An HDMI output appeared, and Wi-Fi (optional) and Bluetooth were added to the communications set. In addition to the original games, it is also compatible with games for previous versions of the PlayStation.
