Love the detailed explaination on each of their products!

[ArifAshraf]

Very well made, great topic choices. Waiting for more.

They really need to get into the cinematography and photography markets. We're used to all-metal, overpriced tech doo-dads as long as they're reliable and add tactile feedback.

I have many co workers based in India and what I’ve found is that it isn’t the accent that’s too hard to understand, it’s the way they can tend to speak fast and end up merging words together that makes things confusing. Go to settings and change the playback sped to .75 and yeah there’s an accent but you can understand everything easily. I’d prefer .8 or .85 speed but for now .75 works.

Superb design commentary, keep up the good quality work!

didn't know this fact that all commercial cool products available in the market with similar kinda aesthetic are somewhere done by one brand only 😮😮😮...

Really good content. If I could suggest one improvement, this would even better if you spoke slowly and more clearly. I felt that some of the words were being swallowed up when you spoke fast.

They know music and design but not business

Mini USB in this day and age? Come on, TE.

Dialect feedback is apt, I couldn't understand a lot of words, geometrical, teenage, related, into, 900 dollars, premium price to name a few.

Maybe pronounce words completely and a bit slower.

Your content could appeal to general viewers not just engineers and designers with small fixes.

The next apple?? ha ha ha ha hah Maybe in your dreams.

work on your dialect and you will rise fast.
