Thank you for the correction! I thought it was like the PS3 where there was different hardware inside the different models. Well, some of them.
…but wait, if all the internals are the same size, why wasn’t the regular one the size of the Slim? Is it just space from having the disc drive removed?
Why? - They simply redesigned the motherboard (to make it smaller and more efficient, produces less heat), they used a 6nm chip instead of a 7nm chip (same power, but less heat generated), they oped for a more passive cooling solution.
No. They have 1 model with 2 cases. They use the same internal components, but the slim has a more compact cooling solution.
Only difference specs-wise is that the Slim has a ~1 TB SSD compared to the ~850 GB SSD

Sorry for the late answer!
The slim uses 300 W, the normal one 350W.

Is changing the one chip enough to count it as separate hardware to test?
Not to mention that different cooling capabilities could result in different performance, too.
