PS4 Pro (NEO) Teardown by PlayStation 4 Console Modder Ben Heck
We've seen Sony's official PlayStation 4 Pro Disassembly videos, and now the popular console modder Ben Heck has done his own PS4 Pro (NEO) Teardown for those interested! 
Check it out below, and from the video's caption to quote: "Ben tears apart a PlayStation 4 Pro and compares it to a recently torn down PlayStation 4 Slim. He also compares it to an Xbox One S he recently tore apart as well and talks about its most glaring omission, the lack of 4K support for its Blu-ray drive."
Thanks to @B7U3 C50SS for the news tip in the PSXHAX Shoutbox!
