There's a lot to like about this in spite of a few flaws.

Engadget Review

In the two and a half years since the Xbox One first came out, it’s become a fundamentally better product, thanks to last year’s Windows 10 update which made the UI faster and easier to use. That said, the console is still saddled with various quirks it’s had since day one.

Navigating the console remains sluggish compared to the PS4
Still missing features from the Xbox 360 like system-wide game defaults
