From PS5 Pro to “PC5”
Techmagnet, a specialized technical content creator TikTok and YouTube is online Disassemble the PS5 Pro to create a PC. At the beginning of the process, the task was quite simple: the panels and the fan can be easily unclipped without running the risk of voiding the warranty, a good point according to the hardware specialist who expresses this “Sony did everything right”.

Although many reactions to the video seem to show interest in purchasing such a system, we still remember that the machine is not a PC.

The PC, the unbeatable one
Even though the PS5 Pro, which runs titles at 60fps in 4K, is “the most powerful” of the consoles, it can’t keep up with the PC. JV Tech conducted the test and we concluded that a $1033.80 PC assembly offers the same performance as the PS5 Pro. This setup may seem expensive to you, but it’s nothing compared to what you have to pay for the Sony device. In fact, the console ($799.99) does not come with a disc reader ($119.99) or the base ($29.99). This means that a game can quickly exceed the 1,000 euro limit.
