PS5 Pro features accessible CMOS battery slot for easier repairs

The upcoming PS5 Pro features a dedicated slot for its CMOS battery, making it easier to access and replace. This is a significant upgrade compared to the standard PS5, where the battery is located on the motherboard. The PS5 Pro also includes a larger GPU, higher CPU clock speeds, and improved ray tracing performance. However, it has a contentious price of $700 and is incompatible with existing PS5 Slim console covers. This new battery slot enhances the console's repairability, a focus that Sony has not highlighted in its marketing. The PS5 Pro is set to launch next week, but some units have already been shipped to customers.
