As a guitar player for over 20 years, I can tell you what makes a quality guitar is not the connectivity, but the quality of the hardware and wood. At that price point, there is no way that guitar is nothing more than barely a toy because that price point can not get you decent quality hardware on that guitar. Probably fun to mess around with, but in no way would this be a guitar you would rely on for performance or proper recording contrary to what this “promo” video contends, without some serious upgrading by you once you buy it.
