I would prefer as little of an OS as possible. The 20 sec cold boot start from the ps4 pro is already kinda long. All I use is start game and the capture gallery, while occasionally checking something in the internet browser which works fine with a quick double tap of the ps button.  Netflix is on the tv nowadays. PS store works pretty fast here. I only use it to check the VR games and add the monthly ps+ games to my library.

I am getting more tempted to buy an X, with 3 FH games. The bundles here suck though. There's a $600 Fallout 76 or Battlefield V or NBA 2K19 or PUBG bundle, no Forza one. $600 standalone as well, $200 more than I paid at launch for ps4, $100 more than at launch for ps4 pro. (Spiderman pro bundle is also still $500) A $499 FH 4 bundle would tempt me yet it seems price cuts for the pro versions are not on the horizon?

Anyway no hurry. Too many other games to play right now. Plus the difference between checkerboard 4K and real 4K is lost on me from the couch. It's just that the X promises to run FH4 at 60fps in 1080p, which would be nice.

Man I have no idea why PS Store is so buggy and slow to me. But it is a shitty thing. I just don't get pissed because I look at it just once a week for deals and use it for like under 10 min.

Well you can wait for Black Friday, considering it been 1 year since launch I imagine they will have some good deals this holiday and FH may be part of it. Well and X1X won't do real 4K for most games, but I agree with you that depending on the configuration you won't find much difference. Even DF have said that the use of checkerboard 4K on Pro was quite well done.

Last gen the difference between 720p and 1080p on a native 1080p screen was very noticeable. However this gen is all about motion blur and post processing effects, film grain, fxaa, and other effects that make the picture soft. Plus on a 4K screen scaling works much better anyway. That combined with the fact that my tv 'only' increased 1.25x in size while the resolution doubled, it's hard to tell what resolution it's at unless I sit right up close.

However buying an XBox One S at this point seems a bit pointless. Sub 1080p is definitely not good enough anymore. I'll keep an eye on on BF.

Does the PS store work better for you on your laptop?
