The teardown of the PS5 Professional is right here, and whereas there isn’t all that a lot totally different occurring from what we’ve seen with the PS5 and PS5 Slim when it comes to repairability, Sony has made one notable change: within the Professional, it’s fairly straightforward to get to the CMOS battery. Whereas accessing this battery to switch it within the two earlier PS5 fashions required a good quantity of labor because of its placement beneath the primary board, iFixit discovered that it’s proper underneath the faceplates within the PS5 Professional and nestled behind a hatch that has only one screw.
That’s a pleasant enchancment over the opposite PS5s, the place “you’ve bought to take aside virtually the entire thing to alter [the CMOS battery] out,” iFixit notes. Apart from that, issues look fairly acquainted. That’s to not say the PS5 Professional itself doesn’t have pleasure to supply — as our reviewers discovered, of a console in relation to efficiency. Much less thrilling although is its $700 price ticket.
