comment about new product

I have some terms in a translation that I am not 100% sure of - I don't normally work with Canadian French.

If my colleagues would be so kind as to help me out...thanks very much! If you think these should be non-pro, I will change the classification.

Grading comment

since this was a one-word answer and I had no idea if the speaker was male or female, I was afraid to use a gender-related term; instead, I used uncool - thanks :-)
