New Xbox 360 Portable Experience
It differs from my past Xbox 360 laptops in several ways:
» Removable standard Xbox 360 hard drive for easy profile/data swapping
» Both memory card slots accessible, same reason.
» No keyboard! Really, they have those chat pads, what’s the point? (Besides looking cool)
» Simplified layout of ports and buttons.
» Internal wi-fi module, no external antenna. Antenna is strung out inside unit like other consoles/laptops.
» Beveled edges! Countersunk screws!
