Could you elaborate the difference between a PS4 and the Pro variant? Is it worth twice the asking price of a slim version considering that I will be gaming on a normal 1080p TV?

Guys, I have been gaming on PC for all my life. Now that I am stuck in another city for work, I am also stuck with an ultrabook that can barely game at low settings when connected to my 1080p TV. I am thinking to splurge on a console but truth be spoken, have never owned one earlier. I want to game in my free time post work and experience some exclusives that I could not try on PC. My gaming pc is back home and I intend to keep it there for when I visit home during holidays. Please suggest which console should I consider picking up. I do not want to spend much as I am unsure about the whole console gaming experience in general and the amount of time I might get each day to game. Want something reliable yet affordable.

Rather wait and get a HDMI 2.1 capable 4k high refresh rate monitor. The PS5 and 3080 mentioned above can easily surpass 4k 60hz on most titles. Optimised titles are arriving sooner than expected. High refresh rate gaming is much cooler especially when paired with high resolution. For eg. Battlefield 5 can run constant 100+ fps at 4k on both new consoles. Wait for deals or save up for a better display. That combo will last this gen life cycle with ease.
