The PS5 Pro has been taken apart. The footage shows that the new console uses a smaller fan to demonstrate that Sony is learning from its mistakes.

Fully power off your console and unplug the PS5 Pro. Find the small black cap plugged into the bottom of the device (circled). This pops out with a simple wiggle and should be kept to the side for safe keeping.

Sony's new PS5 Pro lacks a vertical stand and a disc drive, unlike the PS5 Slim Standard model that retails for $499. If you were to add a vertical stand and a disc drive to the PS5 Pro to fairly compare it to the PS5 Slim Standard, its price jumps up to $810 — over $300 more than the PS5 Slim Standard.

In my week of testing, the PlayStation 5 Pro delivered better visuals than the standard PS5, but it doesn't come cheap.

Early impressions from The Verge, IGN, Tom’s Hardware, and others suggest the PS5 Pro has leveled up and is now the ultimate way to experience gaming on the console. All that said, the biggest standout so far has been PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) — Sony’s new AI-powered upscaling tool.

Still, many graphics-conscious console gamers were looking for an excuse to use the extra pixels and HDR colors on their new 4K TVs, and spending hundreds of dollars on a stopgap console years before the PS5 served that purpose well enough.
