I game on the X & bought an S as a Christmas present for my dad. I was shook at how good the S was tbh & if u aren’t playing on 4K all the time then it’s definitely worth saving the money & going for the S
@@hanseulchoi3617 no but it guarantees you games optimized for it for this entire generation of consoles which could be up to 8-10 years. Can’t say the same for pc specs in this price range
I do not personally own one of these but I think the ability to do this is awesome and allows anyone who may be strapped for cash or are just hesitant to do so as it is not a huge hobby of theirs to be able to next gen game this way or the add on screen option to make it a more mobile console. The series s is a great console. Edit: I own one now
Yup I thought about switching to pc but to get a PC especially where I live to do what the series s can do you are looking min $1000 unless you go used market route and then you playing Russian roulette at that point. Series s is insane value if you just game and don't care about specs and all that garbage. Games look good and run good on series s
I personally had to charge up and make a point to play with my switch more because the SS is taking up all my free time. I am so happy with purchase. I still love powerful machines and the world we live in that but my SS was a great choice as a busy dad who just wants next gen.
The only problem with the Series S is the so little amount of storage for games, a console that was made for the digital era got less space than the Series X
I agree fully. I also have a 4tb external HDD but that's really only good for storage. Sucks that to play Series X/S updated games you need to use the internal SSD or buy the expansion card. Though if you really don't play slot of games in frequent rotation, I guess it's sufficient.
@@redjoel3746 not very useful when all the the more space intensive games which are generally the ones you want to play are series S optimized so you need them on the internal SSD. And it's not worth getting an Xbox expansion drive because by the time you spent that you may aswell got a series x.
It's better to buy a high end 1080p monitor than a cheap 4k one. Series S doesnt really have 4k games and games that are 1440p are typically 30fps, many games run at sub 1080 (dynamic res) so a 1080p screen with all the bells and whistles (120hz minimum, freesync, etc) is better
Best option would be to go for a 1080p or 1440p 120 Hz monitor for Series S. I personally own this console and I have seen that almost all games runs at 1080p dynamic resolution in series S, so a 4k monitor might make the games look little pixelated. If you own a 4k TV then that is fine because you are not going to use a TV so closely like a monitor, so a 4k TV will minimise the pixelated effect when looked from a distance, moreover most of the TVs comes with upscaling feature which might improve the experience a little bit more.
Assuming the game is optimized for series x/s, the games are 1440p upscaled to 4k which is why you won't ever see true 4k from the series s. I personally use a 1080 monitor and it looks fantastic for what it is
@@codemister7 they are not, majority of games are 1080p 60fps trust me I’ve seen it and I’ve watch benchmarks on digital foundry.There is no absolutely point on getting a 4K monitor with a series s , as it will not do any 4K gaming ,only few 1440p but majority are 1080p ,so if u are okay with 1080p then series s is a great choice for you for now but there is no point in lying saying that it can do 1440p 120fps or 4K gaming because it can’t ,I’ll probably saw 1 game that can do 1440p 60fps and that game is not an AAA game but the rest are either dynamic 1440p or 1080p or even lower 900p.
@@Omar-kl3xp if you noticed, I said the games with 1440p capabilities, are specifically optimized for series S/X. And a good chunk actually do offer 120fps. Also said it was upscaled to 4k hence not being true 4k. Did you even read my comment?
@@Omar-kl3xp I also own one and play it everyday so you may have seen it on a RUclips video but I am talking from actual personal experience with the machine itself
@@codemister7 most game That do 1440p are 30fps not 60fps or 120fps which it is not the best mode in my opinion when you have the option to play 60fps at 1080p ,there are few games that do 120fps ,I am aware but they are not at 1440p ,they are at dynamic 1080p which means that it drop lower then 1080p to keep the frame stable.btw I’ve also experienced it and play fair amount of time on the series s since one of my family member own it ,btw digital foundry channel are really legit ,they will tell you the exact frame rate and resolution the game is running on the new console ,they are regularly in contact with game developers .After seen all the games that have been tested on the new console ,I knw for a fact that the series s is mainly playing at 1080p 60fps for now ,keep in mind I’m not saying that 1080p is bad ,in fact if you have a 1080p monitor or 1440p monitor 1080p resolution is pretty fine especially that you can play 60fps and some games 120fps with dynamic 1080p . The series s is the best budget gaming you can get out there ,there is no single machine that can offer the same quality ,performance and experience for the same price ,but I don’t want people to mislead by believing that they can play similar performance as series x and ps5 as I have seen too many people believing that series s can do 1440p 120fps and 4K gaming .
I have a similar setup but with a 1080 60hz monitor. I also like to use keyboard and mouse. Its a great experience with gamepass. The browser also supports keyboard and mouse. I hope more games will support keyboard and mouse in the future.
Finally, a feature to convince parents that these are more than just for gaming. When we were young (even until university), me and my friends weren't allowed to buy any console even with our own savings. Our parents would say it's for gaming only and thought it would make us addicted.
@@vaior6914 Yeah. I ended up buying ps vita, ps3, and ps4 in secret during university years. They're used so not expensive. I kept ps4 a secret until I became a teacher and work at another province. My father came to visit and saw it so I finally told him the truth. He said "Hey, it's in good condition and with that price, it's not such a bad deal.". Good thing he finally accepted. My friend isn't as lucky. He said if he ever buys one, he has to keep it a secret forever. Otherwise, his family will probably trash it. Even now when he is an adult and has a job.

The Xbox Series S has been geared towards outputting 1440p at 60Hz, up to a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. It can upscale the picture to 4K to match your 4K TV, but you won’t be able to see next-gen games in native 4K. You can only play games in native 4K resolution (at up to 120Hz) on the Xbox Series X.
Realistically the series X delivers 4k native at 30fps in most situations especially with ray tracing enabled but it can upscale from a higher original resolution so it looks better kinda like switching FSR or DLSS from performance to ultra quality
@@theaverageblitzer4351 Depending on the game and your TV or monitor that you have that is true however there are a number of games out there that do play at 4k and 120fps if you have the proper setup. If you are using a Series X and have a TV that can truly handle all the Series X can do you will love the experience it gives you. I have one of my Series X set up in my living room on my TV and one in my bedroom on my computer setup hooked into my monitor running at 1440p 120fps. I like both honestly but I do prefer it at 1440p 120fps myself.
Seriously, this is possible😳 I also got a xbox s series but i had no idea that i could do this. I was actually planing on buying a gaming laptop cause i couldn't get used to playing fps games with the xbox controller. Thanks for posting this video👍👍
Not a bad option at all. I have recently built my dream PC and it has its set backs and you miss the simplicity of console gaming sometimes. I also own a series X and a switch though so that need is satisfied. The PC im running has a 3080ti and a ryzen 9 5950X and let me tell you its a much different experience for a much different budget. That being said I plan on getting the top of line line 40 series card when it hits shelves and a ps5 for msrp when I find it so im a hardcore nerd. Wallets beware this is an expensive pass time.
@@doomguy8447 It might not be much were you live. But I'm brazilian and 100k USD is a shit ton of money here. Take me for instance, I make like 16k USD a year (converted). And also consider everything here in Brazil is overpriced due to a lot of taxes and importing. So I'd say you're rich as fuck.
As times goes on, I'm sure most console games will eventually have keyboard/mouse support. Consoles as we know them now aren't like they were 10-20 years ago. With the exception of Nintendo, consoles have been getting closer and closer to being just like having a PC.
This console is available to purchase almost anywhere and also cheap. The only disadvantage is you can install huge size games around 1 or 2 only but IDC its beast
@@ke9587 You're never going to get a PC that powerful for $300, not even close. Maybe triple that with pandemic prices on parts. That's why this console was made "bang for your buck"
@@ke9587 This console can run almost all games available for the console in cheap price. Whereas at the same price if you get a pc you can play new games at low quality and not proper fps. So buying that quality of pc is expensive so it's your wish what you buy
I have a similar setup but with the series x and pay hooked to it. And my monitor is 28in. It's the perfect size for me. Doesn't take up much space but doesn't feel too small
as someone that switched to PC, its incomparable how much better it is having full control over all of your settings files ECT. As well as uncapped frame 3D distance ray tracing (depending) just much better if you can afford it if not this is amazing too!
@@MrNaxen Becuase the option is nice for people who want more performance of there system or maybe they want to tinker with setting, the conveience and cost of consoles i understand completley and i think there amazing for people who dont care about all that. Thats all im saying
@@MrNaxen Some people want to do alot of other stuff in 1 system instead of a console with few things it can do without soft moding, Play movies, Play games and a browser.
For both series x and series s i would buy a 1440p 165hz. 1440p at 120hz on the series X is a game changer. On a small monitor 27inch and under you wont tell much of a difference 4k vs 1440p but the framerate is something unreal if you’ve never experienced greater that FHD gaming at high frame rate. I believe series S does 1440p at 120hz or dynamic 1080p 120hz so it will be of benefit too.
Mannn dude thats what I'm hearing! I'm a ps5 player so I'm getting there sony Bravia 4k 120hz tv....man dude I played nba 2k23 on my big sister's husband tv for like a hour and he has this like 2000 dollar samsung tv in his den, dude I felt like I was in the game! Omg bro you are not lying playing in 120hz is INSANE...coming back home to my tv made it feel like a absolute piece of crap lol
there is literally only a handful of triple a titles who will even stretch to get 120hz support. Most games are lucky to get 60fps on 4k...as of recently all new titles are running at 30fps 4k......if you want frame rates go pc otherwise dont be delusional....
4K screen for that setup is overkill, max 1440p and 27 - 32 inch where you will get a good picture with only 1080p and also better performance from the box.
The problem is that there are games that do not have keyboard and mouse compatibility. And it doesn't contain all the games that exist for PC, although it is a vast library there are still limitations in which a PC or Notebook would fit better.
have my series s for three months and love it! i dont have any issues till now with performance and the quick resume feature is a game changer. for 200 euros i bought it i dont have any complaints
I was actually thinking of getting an xbox series s and do what your doing now. However there are limitations. Games like CSGO, Valorant, Genshin Impact are some of the games i like and play which aren't playable on an xbox. Software like Steam, Discord, Zoom and other engineering programs also aren't useable either. So i don't recommend buying an xbox to replace a pc because of how limited an xbox still is. But i loved how you showed how the xbox could be used as a PC. Great Video
After watching this video , I gotta say Im impressed.For that price , and it could play Forza and atill your homework on Word, thats every console people’s dream.
Only disadvantage of browsing internet on Xbox series S is reloading tabs every time you switch to another, this is annoying and I hope they will fix this in future
Sadly, 4k doesn’t run at nearly as high as the Series X, and the 120fps doesn’t have as high resolution or graphics but it still does 4k, and still does 120fps 🙂 works really well anyway!
@@iorianam8070 I’m not talking about the price, I’m talking about the performance, if we are talking about price, we’ll than holy cow that things runs amazing.
I used my One X and briefly Series X this way, on a 1440p 32" screen. I prefer a large TV but can confirm this is definitely a great minor/in the meantime setup.
Hes lying, hes telling half of the story. Dude has a 4k monitor and hes playing on low setttings to get 120FPS which is not impressive and is actually bad.
Fun fact halo infinite does not run at 120 fps on the series s it was enabled during the first and second test flight so its capable of doing it but it was removed with the last beta
If you're gonna buy a Xbox Series S or X you should have a 144hz monitor to take advantage of the 120fps that the new consoles can output! 4k is nice but frames per second is more important especially for shooter games! FreeSync or VRR is another thing you need for a monitor! I have a Samsung 55" TV with a 120hz panel, FreeSync and ALLM and it's great and my son has a 27" 144hz monitor for his PS5
You need a mortgage these days to own a decent gaming pc set up . I bought the Xbox series S two days ago as exactly an option to a gaming pc purely for simulation games , my word I was not disappointed! It packs a heck of a punch performance and gameplay wise , I’ve struggled with just a laptop playing games like TSW 2 and TS2022 , blown away by the fact it’s got the function to use the edge browser ! , Netflix and many other apps , without the heaviness of an operating system such as windows and all the other programs that bog down a pc memory wise , well pleased as I’ve been away from the gaming circle for 9 years . Brilliant investment and more importantly a cheaper option .
I want to build a pc. I built one before, but with the prices today, I just can’t beat the price to performance that the series S gives given my right budget
@@Rooster832 believe it or not, I didn’t build my PC to play console only games. Additionally, in this case, an Xbox being Microsoft, most games are being ported to PC. not all, but most. My point is though, an Xbox as a budget option for a PC build misses that one major motive of people building PCs.
@@CameronForrester I got that from your first statement and I wasn't talking about MS games but Indie and third-party games on console only and MS does have some games on console only.
@@Rooster832 alright. It’s not really relevant to the convo though, you just buy the Xbox to play console games. Pretty straight forward. But my whole purpose of building a pc was to play stuff like counterstrike, WoW, guild wars, the plethora of great games that are pc specific, also the ability to upgrade it component by component and not beat on your wallet too much.. so for me personally, until you can run windows and Steam on one, an Xbox is a great console, and a great option for gaming in general, but not a viable alternative to a PC.
I have an affinity for this console. It provided a viable option during the time when prices for the Series X, PS5, and graphics cards were exorbitantly high.
This would be perfect for me considering I'll be getting a laptop soon for my school and work related things while I could really use this as a gaming set up
Great video. I'm not hating it but I don't consider Xbox Series S as a PC because it's not, it's a form of a computer but it's a game console. Though you can use it as a PC, it's still very limited to what a PC can actually do. You can do the exact same with any of the Xbox Ones since they're using the same software only less powerful, no surprise.
a laptop doesnt have the power of a desktop a chromebook does t have the power of a laptop a tablet doesnt have the power of a chromebook these nuts do fit across your chin though no surprise 🧻
I would save money and for around $220 you can get a 1440 144hz monitor that supports 120hz and the console will actually hit that mark for more titles.
@@jakubjakub8494 makes sense. X Supports 1440p 120. Honestly a good 4k tv is way to go for console for me I keep PC on monitor and keep consoles on TV and enjoy best of both wrld's
@@jpesicka492 my kids are occupying TV in living room xD bought them some dell Tiny PC in like new condition for 80$ that takes 30W max and easily plays netflix and other streaming services :) and snagged Xbox into my gaming room
I bought a monitor, this Xbox, and the storage expansion card, and now I’ve got this pretty cool budget gaming setup. My only problem is no background play. I really hope they allow you to listen to youtube in the background of games. I have to have a video running in the background, so I just use a cheap laptop to watch/listen to videos.
In the near future, almost all Activision, Bethesda and Xbox games will probably have keyboard support. WoW will also probably come to Xbox consoles w/ mouse & keyboard support. To me, that’s more important than VR because it makes cross play with PC guys more balanced.
Great review! Mouse and keyboard option is nice for Series S, but the drawback is the input delay. MUCH better than last gen tho, and definitely playable! But overall I agree! Amazing machine especially for the price!
@@lucasfreire8360 Compared to PC ooooooh yes. On games where every millisecond counts like Fortnite, you feel it soooooo much. On the next generation consoles it's definitely way better and 100% playable. But input delay made playing mouse and keyboard on the last gen One X or even PS4 Pro for online shooters borderline unplayable.
I hope xbox keep on going with budget versions for the future, I have only had my series S for about 3 weeks now and I love it! I originally was going to upgrade my PC gpu but the prices now are too much because of scalping, I'm glad in a way as I probably wouldn't have even considered buying an xbox
@@derekisludicrous9203 in my opinion honest opinion, definitely! It runs smoother than I had expected, I thought there would be major downsides over getting the s over the x but it runs smooth for applications and games, even from my external drive
@@AkaAshen oh for sure I just don't feel like getting and X because most of my 360 games are digital anyways and I'll primarily use my ps5 thank you tho!
@@derekisludicrous9203 if you mostly want an s for 360 games then 100% get the series s as most games now come with new features, auto hdr and fps boost, check out a video on them for 360 games 😁
Whilst this is awesome and great value, you didn't mention that the series S doesn't support 4k, so technically this ISNT the cheapest 4k gaming experience. I have a similar setup with the Samsung M5 1080p smart monitor which was actually even cheaper and has built in speakers but also smart TV apps
The Series S does support 4k, but in very few games, for example The Touryst and Ori And The Will of The Wisp. I do agree that it makes more sense to use a 1080p monitor if you're on a budget though. Having said that, the Series S might render most games at a lower res, but it upscales it to output 4k, so it will still look better than 1080p. Also, if you have a Series S then you don't really need the monitor's built-in Smart TV apps so you can save a few bucks by buying a less fancy monitor.
@@fmarx1 yea a "few"games that does not mean its worth getting for the selling point of cheap 4k budget gaming....dont be delusional buddy pc or go home.
why would you buy a 4k monitor when the series s is marketed as a 1080p or 1440p console. I think there maybe two or three games that run at 4k but over 90 percent of games will never run at 4k on a series s.
@@cerealkilla718 it would make more sense to get a 1080 or 1440p monitor with 120 hertz for this system. The only reason why the video shows a 4k 60 hertz monitor is that they were sponsored by the maker of the monitor if I had to guess.
It doesn't upscale to 4k actually just 1440p but mainly since content consumption can still do 4k and the system maxes out at 120hrz so it can't do the 144hrz
@@The_MEMEphis OK I just mentioned 144 hz as it represents most monitors that are available. Plus you could use it as a pc monitor at a some point in the future. Regardless, he could opt to go for 120. Instead right now he is using 4K 60. Xbox can't reach 4k other than content consumption, which I believe you won't notice a difference in 27", and the monitor goes up to 60, so it can't take advantage of the 120fps, for the games that support it.
@@KC80SiX 4k monitor on a Xbox series S dont make any Sense, any 1440p/144/120hz monitor is better. Probably Samsung G7 odysey is the best Monitor for that Console to use all Features.
@@alexandr8163 actually playing on a 4K TV compared to a 1080p monitor is a huge difference, and if it has HDR even better, games look amazing with the upscaling, I prefer playing on my TV all the way.
@@andresr6103 definitely agree on this. We are talking about a 27 inch monitor here, though, not a tv. So, it's not a great recommendation as it practically doesn't let the series s perform as intended. It can't do 4K (so monitor not fully utilized) and it's not allowed to run at 120hz, where applicable. (so xbox not fully utilized)
As a pc player who sold his own rig to build a new one last year (expecting to be able to find a gpu), I ended up buying the series S to hold me over untill I could complete a new build. Here's what I found out. 1: good graphics up to 1440p. 4k is upscaled by software, or may cause artifacts depending on your monitor. 2: buy a 144hz, or 120 hz monitor, it makes a world of difference from standard 60 fps. But be aware that in most AAA games you won't be getting more than 50-60 fps. It's really ideal for fast paced shoodters like COD (not caldera, though it can work ok). 3: this is NOT a pc replacement, if you think it is your just bs'ing yourself. This is intended for gaming, it's not a workstation. 4: Input lag can be bad. Halo Infinite was un-playable because the mouse input had some sort of delay added to it. This is probably filtering done on the developers side, but it was seriously atrocious. Other games like Cold War and Warzone/Caldera actually aren't that bad. 5: buy a xim apex if you are a dedicated m&k player. There is support for most console games on the market, and you can fine tune the feel untill you get close to a pc like experience. Only use this for single player or coop, NOT multi-player, you can be detected and banned. 6: the onboard storage is 500 gb, enough for Warzone, 2 COD mp games, and Forza Horizon 5. Additional storage is close to 200$ which is a huge rip off. So plan to be re-downloading games often, or just wait for a Series X to become avaliable (or buy/build a pc). 7: save up and buy/build a PC. Pre-builts (that are not from OEMs) with an i5 or ryzen 5, 3060 or higher, m.2 nvme storage, and dual channel ram will run you 1800$ cad (1500 usd), but it will give you an incomparable experience. Honestly, there is nothing that produces as good of graphics, or as seemless a response as a good pc. Save up for one and you will really enjoy it. Since I was able to source a 3060 ti, my new computer has been built and I have a hard time powering on the console again. Honestly it's just my preference (especially since I do a lot of editing and work on my pc too), but I promise that anyone who picks up a new pc will be happy with it (even if they still play with a controller on it). Overall, be happy with what you have, otherwise you will just be chasing for the next greatest thing. Satisfaction comes from realizing the value of what you already have.
Increble que se pueda jugar Halo Infinite tan fluido igual que en pc con teclado, sin ruido y tomando en cuenta que la consola es mucho mas pequeña que un pc pero demasiado y por eso es muy buena la series s y la pude haber comprado pero preferi mejorar mi pc
La xbox sus juegos son muy fluidos esos si pero si ocupas la pc de verdad mejor la pc ya sea para programación edición o cualquier cosa que no sea solo video juegos
It's more of a 720p-1080p 30-60fps device in long run so you better hold to your 1080p monitor if you want to use series S 1440p is possible in some games 120fps too All depends on how demanding the game is .
Got my 11yr old a series s and got him a 2tb external hard drive now he running 2.5tb on game pass ultimate he Happy as Larry who ever this happy Larry is 😂
Technically you could jailbreak the Xbox and install Linux on it. Since it kind of already runs a modified version of Linux. Then it would be a real pc.
xbox has mouse input lag though. its slight but noticable. too annoying when you have a PC to notice it. but if you want the best bang for your buck. series S is the way to go. the graphics and frames u get from it is ridiculous compared to the price youll have to spend for a PC equal.
I'd call this pseudo-PC gaming since it's literally just using the console with kbm and you're still extremely limited. But I'm curious if it's possibly to install Windows on it somehow. Besides, Steam Deck offers actual budget pc gaming for around the same price (base model anyway)
It's already running a modified version of windows. But no you can't. You can sideload uwp pc apps though if you have developer mode enabled. Like retroarch.
You cannot install windows on here because of a couple things. Microsoft has Intentionally put protections to prevent you from installing windows because of things like game cheating. The Xbox has wildly different hardware from an ordinary PC so it would be impossible to get drivers for the Xbox and if you were to make drivers, your assembly coding skills would have to be in god mode. The Xbox also uses a completely different filesystem from windows. The Xbox uses a filesystem called FATX (don't confuse it with exfat that's different) and the bios only supports fatx (unless you flash a custom bios). In addition to this this probably goes against the Xbox and Microsoft tos, and you would probably get taken to court. At this point its just easier to go buy a windows computer, or install Linux on the Xbox.
Mouse on Xbox and pa5 is absolutely bad. I had X and S (sold them) and mouse sensitivity absolutely bad, it’s not about vsync cause games on pc with vsync playing MUCH MUCH better and smoother on mouse, much more comfortable, but on Xbox and ps5 you just have very bad input lag + sensor lag, it’s feel like you playing not on the table, but like on the glass. I don’t recommend play with mouse and keyboard on Xbox and ps5. Just check Reddit guys, its not only my problem, like I have bad mouse and etc. its problem with consoles. But one thing. In cod warzone mouse works really better than in Fortnite. Fortnite is a hell to play with mouse. Who will not agree with me - just buy gaming pc and try mouse on it.
You used bad Hardware or whatever never had any lag with mouse+keyboard on the supported Xbox Series X games. Also have a 3070rtx/3700x ryzen Pc for Comparison. At the moment theres no Hardware that can Compete with that setup.

I personally had to charge up and make a point to play with my switch more because the SS is taking up all my free time. I am so happy with purchase. I still love powerful machines and the world we live in that but my SS was a great choice as a busy dad who just wants next gen.
The only problem with the Series S is the so little amount of storage for games, a console that was made for the digital era got less space than the Series X
You can use an external HDD to store the games
I agree fully. I also have a 4tb external HDD but that's really only good for storage. Sucks that to play Series X/S updated games you need to use the internal SSD or buy the expansion card. Though if you really don't play slot of games in frequent rotation, I guess it's sufficient.
It’s to encourage you to by the Memory card that’ll make spend the total price of a series x
@@willziak still better than buying series x and paying for memory card that cost almost 1000
@@redjoel3746 not very useful when all the the more space intensive games which are generally the ones you want to play are series S optimized so you need them on the internal SSD.
And it's not worth getting an Xbox expansion drive because by the time you spent that you may aswell got a series x.
Waste of money. Using a 4k monitor 60hz for 400,-. Better just get a 1080p 120 hz screen.
Agreed but it can do media at 4k though.
Didn’t you hear it’s a sponsor? 🥴
I paid 100 for mine from Koorui , the black level isnt right but it gets the job done
You can even get a 32" 2k 144hz for that price
I don't know about prices but if it's same, I would choose 4K anyway.
It's better to buy a high end 1080p monitor than a cheap 4k one. Series S doesnt really have 4k games and games that are 1440p are typically 30fps, many games run at sub 1080 (dynamic res) so a 1080p screen with all the bells and whistles (120hz minimum, freesync, etc) is better
@@JPDHG it's true, watch tests. You don't need a 4k display
@vhs quality I think it's better to go with 1080p, since most games are 1080p or lower. You don't want to get that ugly non-native blur
@vhs quality lol Dying light 2 doesn’t even get 60 fps on XS|S. Not optimized at all.
what do you understand by budget pc?
@@SakFPS yet
The Series S was a great decision on xboxs part ngl pair that with game pass and it's a amazing gaming experience for a more casual bunch of gamers.
Best option would be to go for a 1080p or 1440p 120 Hz monitor for Series S. I personally own this console and I have seen that almost all games runs at 1080p dynamic resolution in series S, so a 4k monitor might make the games look little pixelated. If you own a 4k TV then that is fine because you are not going to use a TV so closely like a monitor, so a 4k TV will minimise the pixelated effect when looked from a distance, moreover most of the TVs comes with upscaling feature which might improve the experience a little bit more.
Assuming the game is optimized for series x/s, the games are 1440p upscaled to 4k which is why you won't ever see true 4k from the series s. I personally use a 1080 monitor and it looks fantastic for what it is
@@codemister7 they are not, majority of games are 1080p 60fps trust me I’ve seen it and I’ve watch benchmarks on digital foundry.There is no absolutely point on getting a 4K monitor with a series s , as it will not do any 4K gaming ,only few 1440p but majority are 1080p ,so if u are okay with 1080p then series s is a great choice for you for now but there is no point in lying saying that it can do 1440p 120fps or 4K gaming because it can’t ,I’ll probably saw 1 game that can do 1440p 60fps and that game is not an AAA game but the rest are either dynamic 1440p or 1080p or even lower 900p.
@@Omar-kl3xp if you noticed, I said the games with 1440p capabilities, are specifically optimized for series S/X. And a good chunk actually do offer 120fps. Also said it was upscaled to 4k hence not being true 4k. Did you even read my comment?
@@Omar-kl3xp I also own one and play it everyday so you may have seen it on a RUclips video but I am talking from actual personal experience with the machine itself
@@codemister7 most game That do 1440p are 30fps not 60fps or 120fps which it is not the best mode in my opinion when you have the option to play 60fps at 1080p ,there are few games that do 120fps ,I am aware but they are not at 1440p ,they are at dynamic 1080p which means that it drop lower then 1080p to keep the frame stable.btw I’ve also experienced it and play fair amount of time on the series s since one of my family member own it ,btw digital foundry channel are really legit ,they will tell you the exact frame rate and resolution the game is running on the new console ,they are regularly in contact with game developers .After seen all the games that have been tested on the new console ,I knw for a fact that the series s is mainly playing at 1080p 60fps for now ,keep in mind I’m not saying that 1080p is bad ,in fact if you have a 1080p monitor or 1440p monitor 1080p resolution is pretty fine especially that you can play 60fps and some games 120fps with dynamic 1080p .
The series s is the best budget gaming you can get out there ,there is no single machine that can offer the same quality ,performance and experience for the same price ,but I don’t want people to mislead by believing that they can play similar performance as series x and ps5 as I have seen too many people believing that series s can do 1440p 120fps and 4K gaming .
Didn’t even think of the s on the direction you took it, way to go - this is brilliant. Something to think about.

The Xbox Series S has been geared towards outputting 1440p at 60Hz, up to a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz. It can upscale the picture to 4K to match your 4K TV, but you won’t be able to see next-gen games in native 4K. You can only play games in native 4K resolution (at up to 120Hz) on the Xbox Series X.
Realistically the series X delivers 4k native at 30fps in most situations especially with ray tracing enabled but it can upscale from a higher original resolution so it looks better kinda like switching FSR or DLSS from performance to ultra quality
@@theaverageblitzer4351 Depending on the game and your TV or monitor that you have that is true however there are a number of games out there that do play at 4k and 120fps if you have the proper setup.

For both series x and series s i would buy a 1440p 165hz. 1440p at 120hz on the series X is a game changer. On a small monitor 27inch and under you wont tell much of a difference 4k vs 1440p but the framerate is something unreal if you’ve never experienced greater that FHD gaming at high frame rate. I believe series S does 1440p at 120hz or dynamic 1080p 120hz so it will be of benefit too.

4K screen for that setup is overkill, max 1440p and 27 - 32 inch where you will get a good picture with only 1080p and also better performance from the box.

You need a mortgage these days to own a decent gaming pc set up . I bought the Xbox series S two days ago as exactly an option to a gaming pc purely for simulation games , my word I was not disappointed! It packs a heck of a punch performance and gameplay wise , I’ve struggled with just a laptop playing games like TSW 2 and TS2022 , blown away by the fact it’s got the function to use the edge browser ! , Netflix and many other apps , without the heaviness of an operating system such as windows and all the other programs that bog down a pc memory wise , well pleased as I’ve been away from the gaming circle for 9 years . Brilliant investment and more importantly a cheaper option .
I want to build a pc. I built one before, but with the prices today, I just can’t beat the price to performance that the series S gives given my right budget

What about games that are console only?
@@Rooster832 believe it or not, I didn’t build my PC to play console only games. Additionally, in this case, an Xbox being Microsoft, most games are being ported to PC. not all, but most.

@@CameronForrester I got that from your first statement and I wasn't talking about MS games but Indie and third-party games on console only and MS does have some games on console only.
@@Rooster832 alright. It’s not really relevant to the convo though, you just buy the Xbox to play console games. Pretty straight forward. But my whole purpose of building a pc was to play stuff like counterstrike, WoW, guild wars, the plethora of great games that are pc specific, also the ability to upgrade it component by component and not beat on your wallet too much.. so for me personally, until you can run windows and Steam on one, an Xbox is a great console, and a great option for gaming in general, but not a viable alternative to a PC.
So I am sold. I would chose series s over ps5 any day.
I have an affinity for this console. It provided a viable option during the time when prices for the Series X, PS5, and graphics cards were exorbitantly high.
This would be perfect for me considering I'll be getting a laptop soon for my school and work related things while I could really use this as a gaming set up
Great video. I'm not hating it but I don't consider Xbox Series S as a PC because it's not, it's a form of a computer but it's a game console.

You can do the exact same with any of the Xbox Ones since they're using the same software only less powerful, no surprise.

Having said that, the Series S might render most games at a lower res, but it upscales it to output 4k, so it will still look better than 1080p.
Also, if you have a Series S then you don't really need the monitor's built-in Smart TV apps so you can save a few bucks by buying a less fancy monitor.

@@alexandr8163 actually playing on a 4K TV compared to a 1080p monitor is a huge difference, and if it has HDR even better, games look amazing with the upscaling, I prefer playing on my TV all the way.
@@andresr6103 definitely agree on this. We are talking about a 27 inch monitor here, though, not a tv. So, it's not a great recommendation as it practically doesn't let the series s perform as intended.
It can't do 4K (so monitor not fully utilized) and it's not allowed to run at 120hz, where applicable. (so xbox not fully utilized)
have a question. Can you remove the digital keyboard that you get when writing with the wl command?
Yes

As a pc player who sold his own rig to build a new one last year (expecting to be able to find a gpu), I ended up buying the series S to hold me over untill I could complete a new build. Here's what I found out.
1: good graphics up to 1440p. 4k is upscaled by software, or may cause artifacts depending on your monitor.
2: buy a 144hz, or 120 hz monitor, it makes a world of difference from standard 60 fps. But be aware that in most AAA games you won't be getting more than 50-60 fps. It's really ideal for fast paced shoodters like COD (not caldera, though it can work ok).
3: this is NOT a pc replacement, if you think it is your just bs'ing yourself. This is intended for gaming, it's not a workstation.
4: Input lag can be bad. Halo Infinite was un-playable because the mouse input had some sort of delay added to it. This is probably filtering done on the developers side, but it was seriously atrocious. Other games like Cold War and Warzone/Caldera actually aren't that bad.
5: buy a xim apex if you are a dedicated m&k player. There is support for most console games on the market, and you can fine tune the feel untill you get close to a pc like experience. Only use this for single player or coop, NOT multi-player, you can be detected and banned.
6: the onboard storage is 500 gb, enough for Warzone, 2 COD mp games, and Forza Horizon 5. Additional storage is close to 200$ which is a huge rip off. So plan to be re-downloading games often, or just wait for a Series X to become avaliable (or buy/build a pc).
7: save up and buy/build a PC. Pre-builts (that are not from OEMs) with an i5 or ryzen 5, 3060 or higher, m.2 nvme storage, and dual channel ram will run you 1800$ cad (1500 usd), but it will give you an incomparable experience. Honestly, there is nothing that produces as good of graphics, or as seemless a response as a good pc. Save up for one and you will really enjoy it.
Since I was able to source a 3060 ti, my new computer has been built and I have a hard time powering on the console again. Honestly it's just my preference (especially since I do a lot of editing and work on my pc too), but I promise that anyone who picks up a new pc will be happy with it (even if they still play with a controller on it).
Overall, be happy with what you have, otherwise you will just be chasing for the next greatest thing. Satisfaction comes from realizing the value of what you already have.
@@duckilythelovely3040 Well said David.
Wow I didn't know before the xbox series S could be some sort of PC gaming 😱😱😱
Done this with my series X got my gaming mouse keyboard speakers and gaming monitor for full RGB amazing 👍
Is the mouse sensitivity good? In games
input lag is nothing close to pc times
That's not true at all
@@kwakes212 I just had a series s and it had way more lag than a pc with the mkb
@@yayaya1193able idk I haven't noticed anything, I guess there is then
@@kwakes212 play cod with mkb on Xbox and then play on pc. You’ll see the difference very easily
O monstrinho serve pra tudo perfeito demais
Sabes cómo se llama la pantalla?
Increble que se pueda jugar Halo Infinite tan fluido igual que en pc con teclado, sin ruido y tomando en cuenta que la consola es mucho mas pequeña que un pc pero demasiado y por eso es muy buena la series s y la pude haber comprado pero preferi mejorar mi pc
La xbox sus juegos son muy fluidos esos si pero si ocupas la pc de verdad mejor la pc ya sea para programación edición o cualquier cosa que no sea solo video juegos
It's more of a 720p-1080p 30-60fps device in long run so you better hold to your 1080p monitor if you want to use series S
1440p is possible in some games 120fps too
All depends on how demanding the game is .
Got my 11yr old a series s and got him a 2tb external hard drive now he running 2.5tb on game pass ultimate he Happy as Larry who ever this happy Larry is 😂
Technically you could jailbreak the Xbox and install Linux on it. Since it kind of already runs a modified version of Linux. Then it would be a real pc.
Xbox runs on heavily modified version of windows
@@johntrooper3770 oh really. I didn't know that. Thanks. But it would still be cool to have a Linux Xbox
60hz Monitor? Na man. 144hz is what you need to maximize the 120FPS.
144hz at least ,1440p 120hz can be better
xbox has mouse input lag though. its slight but noticable. too annoying when you have a PC to notice it. but if you want the best bang for your buck. series S is the way to go. the graphics and frames u get from it is ridiculous compared to the price youll have to spend for a PC equal.
Esse atraso só acontece se você jogar a 60hz ,se você jogar Fortnite ou warzone ,que tem modo para 120fps e jogar eles a 120hz , é imperceptível
I tought i was crazy but felt this also on the xbox series x in cod. Could be cod also tho at the moment :/.
Nice video!👌I just picked up one for £80 with 7 games off a friend they are really nice also very small.
DIDNT KNOW YOU CAN USE OFFICE ON XBOX... THAT WAS THE ONLY THING HOLDING ME BACK FROM CONSOLES... GOD DAMN...LOVE IT
You only need a 2k 144hz monitor, no need a 4k one
I'd call this pseudo-PC gaming since it's literally just using the console with kbm and you're still extremely limited. But I'm curious if it's possibly to install Windows on it somehow.
Besides, Steam Deck offers actual budget pc gaming for around the same price (base model anyway)
It's already running a modified version of windows. But no you can't. You can sideload uwp pc apps though if you have developer mode enabled. Like retroarch.
You cannot install windows on here because of a couple things. Microsoft has Intentionally put protections to prevent you from installing windows because of things like game cheating. The Xbox has wildly different hardware from an ordinary PC so it would be impossible to get drivers for the Xbox and if you were to make drivers, your assembly coding skills would have to be in god mode. The Xbox also uses a completely different filesystem from windows. The Xbox uses a filesystem called FATX (don't confuse it with exfat that's different) and the bios only supports fatx (unless you flash a custom bios). In addition to this this probably goes against the Xbox and Microsoft tos, and you would probably get taken to court. At this point its just easier to go buy a windows computer, or install Linux on the Xbox.
Mouse on Xbox and pa5 is absolutely bad. I had X and S (sold them) and mouse sensitivity absolutely bad, it’s not about vsync cause games on pc with vsync playing MUCH MUCH better and smoother on mouse, much more comfortable, but on Xbox and ps5 you just have very bad input lag + sensor lag, it’s feel like you playing not on the table, but like on the glass. I don’t recommend play with mouse and keyboard on Xbox and ps5. Just check Reddit guys, its not only my problem, like I have bad mouse and etc. its problem with consoles. But one thing. In cod warzone mouse works really better than in Fortnite. Fortnite is a hell to play with mouse. Who will not agree with me - just buy gaming pc and try mouse on it.
You used bad Hardware or whatever never had any lag with mouse+keyboard on the supported Xbox Series X games. Also have a 3070rtx/3700x ryzen Pc for Comparison. At the moment theres no Hardware that can Compete with that setup.
Bs
Its also an emulation beast!
it's a great video showcasing how good the xbox series S is... but I can't help but noticed that he play minecraft in third person
Bro spent $400 on a 4k monitor, he spent more on it than the Series S and the 4k doesn't even do anything on the S 🤣
4k looks the same as 720p from far away and 4k just doesn't show pixels that easily
I wouldn't call it a gaming pc. Pc gaming is much more, more games, more content and the modding community is huge
120fps on 60hz 😂
🤡
Great video, thanks for posting!
Nice vid , you explained it really well
This console is very underrated!!!
I have a ps5 but I am seriously considering getting this as well, for game pass i heard a lot of good things
I say this is an absolute win
Me gustó mucho este Setup! 💣🔥
