The PS4 Slim might not have been officially announced but that hasn't stopped it being sold, filmed, played, and now taken to pieces (via Kotaku).

According to the people behind the teardown the console is quiet but gets hot very fast (and that's not the first talk of heating issues I've heard). It also doesn't have 4K output, which I'm pretty sure we already knew, and apparently comes in 500GB and 1TB versions.
