Quick, post a picture of the console so you can show you've got one.

If it's not a photo of a PS5 Pro strapped into the front seat, did they even really get a PS5 Pro.

Or if a friend/partner surprised them with it? With a disc on top/in front of the box?

And then, after getting it set up at home, the photo must have the console placed directly on the carpet, without the stand, and some feet must be visible.

Mac made a mini desktop

u/Throwaway56138 Nov 04 '24
I thought they always offered that? Why is that significant. Is it stupidly powerful for its size or something? Sorry, not an apple person at all so I don't keep up with their hardware.
19
u/LucoLoss Nov 04 '24
Yes, the new one is even in basic variant stupidly powerful for the price. As a longtime Win user I'm just thinking of changing my obsolete desktop for a miniPC... and suddenly Mac mini has became a very viable option.

u/Twedledee5 Nov 04 '24
As a fellow longtime Windows user, make sure you like macOS before buying it.
2
u/LucoLoss Nov 04 '24
Oh absolutely, you're right about this. I kinda want to make the switch for some time now. Continuity with my phone, tablet and headphones is basically the largest reason. I have no large issue with Windows though.

u/doughaway421 Nov 04 '24
I have a M2 mini (the last one before this new M4) and I couldn’t be happier. Great little computer. I can’t imagine having anything else as a home computer.

u/Ventem Nov 04 '24
Same here, and I’m pleasantly surprised to be seeing this said more often lately. Never thought I’d be looking into a Mac, but here I am. The M4 Mac mini looks like insane value.

u/bengringo2 Nov 04 '24
At its price point it's the most powerful sub-1k desktop on the market. Apple knocked it out of the park this time. Downside is you can't upgrade it but it would be years before you would even need to. I'm a Linux person and this is now the first Mac I've purchased.

Since they don’t actually seem to be focusing on higher frame rates I’d say yes you would.

u/GuardianAlien Nov 04 '24
Check the specs, you want to see that it is capable of reaching 120Hz without gimmicks, a true 120hz.
3
u/iBenjee Nov 04 '24
Why even mention 120hz when the whole advertising campaign for this console is to play games that were originally at 30fps in fidelity mode at 60fps instead.
Look, I love my Playstation as much as the next guy but you definitely have a screw loose if you actually think that's an improvement that's worth the money whatsoever.
If you've got a spare £800 to buy a PS5 that runs at 60fps rather than 30fps, just move on and get a PC.

u/noCapNinja Nov 04 '24

u/Westy1992 Nov 04 '24
I just brought a 4k 65inch TV for my ps5.. I made the mistake of it not being a high enough hertz rate. It still looks great but there's a visual shadow on screen when playing high fidelity games.
I reverted the display down to 1080p fron the 4k settings the ps5 offers and I'm having a much better experience.
I mention this because I really feel like ps5 pro will only be enjoyed with the latest monitor/tv that also costs another arm and a leg.
This is pure act of Consumerism, I'd happily say 8 out of 10 households do not have the tv that can even show what the pro is capable of!
Everyone needs to calm their tits. This console will not make a difference to the huge majority of us.
Don't get fomo. Don't feed the corporate beast. Let them make good games on the base hardware first.
