Overall one of the best available Mini-ITX motherboards; Two onboard M.2 slots, Thunderbolt 4, PCIe 16x Gen 5 ; Solid networking and great audio options with included Strix Hive; Enthusiast-approved ROG aesthetics and functional design elements such as Q-Latch for M.2 drives;
$469 MSRP will deter some shoppers ; Mini-ITX has some inherent limitations due to its size; Gamers might find some features unnecessary, such as Thunderbolt 4;
