Answer: a PlayStation 5 measures 39 cm (height), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, a violin at 59 cm.
The largest home console ever sold, almost entirely because of its cooling.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a PlayStation 5 when it sits beside a violin — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a server rack measures 2 m (height), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a US interior door at 2 m.
A full rack is commonly around two metres tall.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a server rack when it sits beside a US interior door — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a mirrorless camera measures 13 cm (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a hard-shell taco at 15 cm.
Dropping the mirror box let camera bodies shrink by about a third.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a mirrorless camera when it sits beside a hard-shell taco — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a computer keyboard measures 44 cm (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a laptop computer at 35 cm.
Full-size boards owe their width to the number pad; tenkeyless models lose about 10 cm.
Common miss: players tend to compress a computer keyboard when it sits beside a laptop computer — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: an office printer measures 45 cm (length / span), which is 1.3× as big as the reference, a large pizza at 35.6 cm.
Width is set by the paper path — A4 and Letter need the same clearance.
Common miss: players tend to compress an office printer when it sits beside a large pizza — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
