http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/06/xbox-360-2013-teardown_620x340.jpgThe Xbox 360 has gone through quite a few hardware transitions in its lifetime, but the2013 model (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/10/xbox-360-redesign/) still intrigues us -- it's potentially the last, most advanced iteration that we'll see. iFixit (http://www.engadget.com/tag/iFixit/) must be equally curious, as it's tearing down the console just days after its launch. The shock of this latest system may rest in what hasn't changed: despite being smaller and (reportedly) quieter, the updated 360 is still using the cooling, processing power and storage of its 2010 predecessor (http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/new-xbox-360-slim-250gb-review/). Most of the differences exist in the enclosure and some minor component tweaks, like the new RF module. This model isn't a revolution, then, but iFixit appreciates its more repairable design.
