I’d go with the one s for the same reasons the other guy stated. if you’re super tech savvy I saw a video saying if you change the storage on a one x it’s actually a way better console than a series s and would still be cheaper.

The series s is definitely better than a one x. Of course it would not be worth recommending for someone with disks, but CPU and Ssd are much better and no external drive will beat the higher framerates you're getting on a series s. One x runs at a higher resolution so in that sense, it's better but it usually runs at half the framerate.

Yeah I get what you mean. The video I saw actually replaced the internal drive and put the OS on it. Their point was that the one x had games improved specifically for it, So it ran better on most games, had the higher resolution and was now just as quick. where as the series s is in a weird middle ground where some of the games perform like trash because they made them with series x in mind and unless you’re playing games like Warzone with a very heavy cpu load they said it the cpu didn’t really make a difference.

I see your point, but i feel like the Video might have been a bit biased, because CPU does often matter a lot. There are of course instances where series s runs at below 1080p but it usually runs at 60 fps or at least stable 30. An example of CPU differences is Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order. It has a 1080p Performance mode on series s and on one x and on series s it's locked 60, while it is 35-50 on one x.
