   I can’t understand why, in this day and age, when there still is available place on the back panel, they still cram 4 usb ports in that small of a place.

     This review is a waste of time. Maybe six months ago this board was interesting, but it’s replacement will be out in weeks if not days.

       I don’t think motherboard
       I don’t think motherboard reviews are ever completely out of date, as motherboards fail a lot more often than CPUs, so someone in the future may be looking for replacement motherboards for their still-working CPU on an older platform. Intel’s lack of progress since sandy bridge also makes staying on the absolute latest platform unnecessary – it’s not a bad idea to buy an older platform in the future if you can find a good deal on it.

     agreed…. even my Z97 Maximus Formula does.

     I am also pretty confident the Z170 ASUS Pro Gaming has M.2 as well.

     It has m.2, which is populated by the WiFi adapter. That can be removed, or one can get a sled for an m.2 and plug that into the u.2.
