Here at iFixit, we're stalwart opponents of the black box mentality. What goes on inside consumer electronics should not be an incomprehensible (nor non-repairable) mystery.

That being said, we must concede that the PS4 is one darn good looking black box.

Seven years of design innovation bring the PS4 a distinctly more geometric body, an indicator light bar, and more subtle logo labeling than last time round.

We also find:

Slot-loading Blu-ray/DVD disc drive

Two powered USB 3.0 ports

Some fine print touting the PlayStation's pals—HDMI, DTS, Dolby, and Blu-ray.
