Not having CFW isn’t the end of the world. It’s a slight inconvenience having to press the button at boot and maybe sometimes randomly a game not launching.

Also, later super slims are using more modern chips and therefore are much quieter and nicer to use.

Lastly, currently there is a modchip being developed for a qCFW (quasi-CFW) which will allow for basically 99% CFW capabilities on later models anyway, so there is that going for it too.

Super slims are a hidden gem imo

Oh you mean Android Studio automagically “updating” your versions so that your build breaks and you spent 3 hours figuring out what just happened without you even touching anything?
