From what we have gathered, the latest model released differs in weight. The 1100 model released in 2021 weighs half a pound more, while the PS5 weighs one pound more. We can say that the 1200 model is one of the most lightweight Sony consoles.
- YouTuber Austin Evans is one of the first to purchase the 1200 model PS5 Digital Edition and made a teardown on his channel. He may have found a few yet significant changes in the latest model. The motherboard and heatsink internals shrunk, while a new pipe completed the changes of the new model. Similar to the older models is the heat output and noise of the latest PS5.
- Evans also mentioned that in terms of power, the 1200 model draws less power compared to the older versions and models. The YouTuber tried the model in the gameplay of ASTRO’S PLAYROOM which is the pre-installed game. This is where he found out that this model drew 20 to 30W less than the older models of PS5.
- The cutting of power usage of the model is in line with their goal to help the global environment in terms of a global shortage of hardware components. Also, a piece of great news for players who daily play their games. He also mentioned that Sony may have cut down on internal packaging costs which made the model lighter and cheaper to produce.
