The Xbox S , also known as the Xbox Slim is a video game console developed and marketed by Microsoft. It is the second model in the Xbox line and is the successor to the Xbox It was released on July, in the US.
The Xbox S is quieter and faster compared to previous revisions of the Xbox and included a built in port for the Kinect , a motion sensing accessory that removes the need for a controller.
The Kinect was released several months after the Xbox S, but the console was often marketed and bundled with the accessory. During E3 , Microsoft unveiled a brand new revision of the Xbox The model at the announcement was described as being much smaller than past models, featuring a GB hard drive and a built in Wireless N 2.
The Xbox S features a similar but refined design to its predecessors. Additionally, the controller sync button and IR port were moved to the top of the USB receptacle and the IR port and sync button were combined into one sleek unit. The power and eject buttons have also been changed from physical buttons to touch-sensitive buttons with this revision. The new design carried forward the Xbox emblems featured on the disk drive and side of the console.
There were a couple of versions of this, and some early models did not come with HDMI ports. You're only going to buy one of these if you buy used, and I'd be careful.
A lot of the early run had issues with overheating and were prone to the "red ring of death. The middle unit is the Xbox S. It improves on the classic by adding a dedicated Kinect port, additional USB ports, integrated wireless and a built-in optical audio out. All of these models come with HDMI ports. The one on the right is the Xbox E. It is a redesign of the S to make it look a bit more like the Xbox One. There's no real advantage to this model as far as I can see. The linked CNet review says the pros are it's "slightly quieter".
In addition to these models, there are also variants of each of these. Usually it amounts to a difference in the amount of storage. There are also various bundles that pack in games or peripherals like Kinect.
It seems clear that for almost any way you could judge the three, the Xbox S is the winner. The only advantages the E has is similarity in design to the Xbox One, and perhaps a slight noise difference. The "classic" is probably cheaper, but buying one used is slightly risky.
There's some more detail and a somewhat-useful table in this Wikipedia article. From the table below source , we can see that the Valhalla processor used in the Xbox S is the most power-efficient and therefore has the least amount of system heat. The best possible processor for the regular is the Jasper; any processor revision prior to that will have higher chances of failure due to overheating.
Also, the S has a more sensible ventilation design where the grill is on the top of the system vs. One way to spot the Jaspers is by looking at the label on the back. If your looking at one of the original chassis, you do NOT want one that says 12V Again, unless it's free. I'd honestly recommend never buying one from EBay or Craigslist at any price, since you don't even know if the insides match the label. From Gamestop, might be worth it on a refurb since if it's a Jasper 12V However, I'm seeing refurb bundles on the classic chassis for only bucks cheaper than a refurb bundle on a similar S or E.

The Xbox E not to be confused with Elite configuration was released the moment it was announced back in Lastly only 3 years, the Xbox E featured a similar design to the newer generation Xbox One.
