What are the extra features that cannot be found on 2015 unit?

talking only of the 16GB variants:
smaller form factor lesser by 40% in size (according to NVidia) thus they removed the 2 ports in the 2017 model. also, they removed the "On" switch in the unit -- but there is On/Off button on the "included" flat remote. the body of the 16GB 2017 is more matte plastic-looking --- less of the piano finishes found on the 16GB 2015.
these units comparison is subjective to consumers. some needs the extra ports that has been removed, thus they say it's "pangit na".. while others, likes a smaller sized unit whom may not need those extra ports, thus they say "mas maganda"..
what's important is performance.. they're still the same. and also, NVidia's support is VERY okay. imagine, whatever app features/OS were put into the 2017 model, they also offered as updates to the 2015 model. kaya pareho parin sila. sa iba yan, iiwan na nila kung ano meron sa lumang model at ilalagay lang sa bago.. para masabing "bago" talaga. the case of NVidia is otherwise.
for the 500GB variant, all exactly the same. only new designed controller and with new "free" remote (new because the 3.5mm audio jack is removed, but it's given as a freebie, anyway). you can still buy the 2015 flat remote separately, for PhP2,800, I think...
HTH!
