Although the new Xbox 360 model is more compact than its predecessor and less noise would make, are a lot of components that are intended for the refrigeration, storage and processing remained virtually the same, concludes iFixit that the console apart took.
Microsoft announced the 2013 model this week as the successor of the Xbox Slim in 2010 came on the market. The design is a derivative of the Xbox One. The redesigned Xbox 360 came out in the USA by directly on the market. The firm iFixit decided the console apart to get to beklijken what changes Microsoft in the design has been implemented.
The Xbox 360 E, such as the model by iFixit is called, is relatively easy to open. The buttons on the front appear to be a loose circuit board. Further, Microsoft has one usb port and omitted, resulting in a total of four usb 2.0 connections are present. Also, the old a/v port and s/pdif outputs are replaced by one single optical audio output.
Internally by iFixit, a new rf module found. The cooling system that Microsoft made in the Xbox 360 Slim introduced to finally deal with the infamous red ring of death phenomenon, by means of a new fanontwerp and another heat sink, is unchanged. If hard disk, Microsoft delivers in the examined specimen has a 5400rpm Seagate 250GB, while the optical drive from Lite-On.
Although the new E-model so no drastic changes in the hardware, and presumably primarily Microsoft a cost savings, suggests iFixit that the console due to its modular design in good repair: virtually all vulnerable parts are to be replaced. For the hard drive should however be noted that this will only be upgraded with an official disk.
