In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“this thing was a very literal supercomputer”
“supremely pricey especially given the console's creaky plastic exterior but oh boy was this thing powerful”
“this console is not quiet or cool for that matter it's like an oven back here”
