February 2023

Excellent build quality, easy M2 handeling, a lot if extras onboard (wifi, 2.5GB lan, bluetootg, etc). The only thing is it should have another USB header for the case ports (support 2 USBs+ 1 USB C). My case has 4 USBs and currently 2 out of use.

Great kit, lots of useful connectors and importantly support for M2 PCIE 5 drives when they arrive . very solid build and excellent bios features. Looks good, feels good and the screwless M2 system is an absolute dream. Expensive but compared to similar products by other makers reasonably priced.

Amazing amount of connectivity, Very minimilistic design
