PSP slim

The PSP Slim & Lite offers a 33% lighter and 5mm (19%) thinner system. Internal changes to achieve this include the removal of a metal chassis (used to reduce damage in the event of sudden trauma to the system resulting from the user dropping the system on a hard surface), improved WLAN modules and Micro-controller, and a thinner and much lighter LCD display.[6]

Although dubbed "PSP Slim and Lite", the PSP-2000 offers several other tweaks and improvements from the older generation. To target the original PSP generation's poor load times for UMD games,[7] the internal memory (RAM and FlashROM) was doubled to 64 MB to improve load times and accommodate for an improvement in the web browser's performance.[8]
