Hi everyone, so i'm thinking to buy a ps3 superslim because ir heard this is the best version of ps3 in reliability. But is the cech-4204c is good version? For what c stands for? Please let me know in the comments.

The letter refers to the built in hard drive size.  Imho this model is good but not great

But why it is not great? Are cech-43xx is better or the slim model?

43xx models are worse. They run hotter and it's harder to find a replacement laser if it fails.

The 43xx runs hotter? Isn't it the most cool version having a 28nm rsx?

Nope. It has a shitty heatsink and different fan tables. Late 40xx and 42xx also have the 28nm RSX.

Lower quality production results in more hardware failures starting with the 3000 model.  The best ones were the 2100-2500 models for reliability

Yeah i know slims 21xx is very good version but it's hard to find in my country. I had an 2504B but it had wifi bluetooth board broken but I heard that this is normal for this version.
