The video was clear, and I could see all the labels of the ports and slots. I had a hard time understanding some of the descriptions due to the accent. nevertheless it was a good demonstration.

I can’t understand him. Even the closed caption doesn’t understand. He was talking about ITX and the closed caption said ethics. I’m sure he’s very nice, but this is so difficult to understand already.

The mono-tone voice over is kind of making it hard to concentrate with enthusiasm.
