The The PS5 Pro teardown is here, and while it’s not all that different from what we saw with the PS5 and PS5 Slim in terms of repairability, Sony has made one notable change: on the Pro, it’s pretty cool. The CMOS battery is easy to reach. While replacing it on the previous two PS5 models required quite a bit of work to access this battery due to its location under the motherboard, iFixit found it to be under the bezels on the PS5 Pro and behind a hatch with only one screw. .
It’s a nice improvement over the other PS5s, where you had to take almost everything apart to ‘change. [the CMOS battery] out,” notes iFixit. Other than that, things look pretty familiar. That’s not to say the PS5 Pro itself doesn’t have excitement to offer – as our reviewers found, of the console when it comes to performance. Less exciting, though, is its $700 price tag.
