>When I first previewed Series X last week, I included a photo of me placing a soda can on top, in order to demonstrate how flippin' easily you can do so. The symmetry of this venting divot is perfect for holding standard cans, soup cans, or thinner cans, in such a way that they don't tip over. Yet the funky angle of it is perfect for accidentally tipping them, should you not get a good handle as you grab hold.
>There's really no other way around it: you can absolutely get liquid and crumbs directly into your Series X's innards by spilling them down there. The larger, pencil-sized dots are interrupted by a rubber venting fan. Beneath that are many smaller dots, and beneath those are shielded motherboard elements. You probably won't get water directly onto crucial motherboard elements with a small spill, but if it was a good idea to spill solids and liquids onto a shielded motherboard, Microsoft would've filled the console with water already.
>I didn't experiment any further than getting a pencil to make significant contact with the system's fans for about half a second, or inserting a plastic straw for roughly 10 seconds of fan contact. I wasn't trying to break the thing, since I still have at least one more article about this hardware in the works.
why are you drinking soda? why are you using your console as a table? the reason it's all wireless now is because you just stash it in a cabinet and play your game.

>soda slurpers first instinct upon getting an expensive piece of hardware is whether or not they can accidentally pour their cans of high fructose corn syrup into it there's a tendency on this website to refer to things as being "mental illness" but it might be an apt descriptor here.
>you can absolutely get liquid and crumbs directly into your Series X's innards by spilling them down there Wow, you don't say. Well, buying a PS5, then.

The intelligence of the general public is the lowest it's ever been, satire is dead, everything is taken as face truths to most people. We get it's satire, but the 99.9% of people that don't come to Zig Forums don't. The 2% of the population that uses twitter doesn't get it, and the news repeats popular twitter.
>nitpicking the last part of the article when clearly was made as a joke All the other parts of the review are really good and informative. God, Zig Forums is so fucking pathetic.
Zachary Young
Holy shit, this guy just figured out water and electronics don't mix. This is revolutionary.
Jose Collins
why did they put all of those holes on top anyway? Is it some ultra primitive cooling system?
Hunter Allen
In a way it's useful if you have idiot people living with you.
William Walker
Oh it's totally useful. His point for doing it makes sense because I can easily imagine the average person getting one of these and stacking shit either on top or in that little dip
Xavier Scott
Even if they read it, they'd still do it out of convenience later.
