Frustrating

JAFO, Newegg
5 August 2012
  • Summary: Unreliable I/0 connectivity with any and all usb. My keyboard and Mouse randomly disconnect. Windows doesn't even recognize the device has left the building.
  • Pros: Very good when it works performs well for the tasks I do at home. Moderate gaming, netflix, flash games and email.
  • Cons: If you are a competitive gamer do not purchase this board. This is what i get for discounting some of the other poor reviews on this board.
