On the other, they're fun to watch because they display the fine engineering that went into making these devices, particularly when it comes thermals.

In the video below, YouTube channel VirtualFutureTV unscrews every screw on the PS4 Pro to reveal what lies beneath. There are layers upon layers of metal sheets, plastic covers and more.
