Pros: None

Cons: I bought this last minute before a 1-month trip overseas. Because I was unable to return it for that long, it's no longer returnable due to the 30-day return policy. Not only does the secondary port not work at all, the primary (1 amp) port is flaky and shuts off randomly during charging. Fortunately it was relatively cheap, which means it's not worth trying to pursue any type of warranty replacement, but it's still frustrating as it was not reliable for my trip. Stay away from rinky dink manufacturers like this one.

Onboard video sparkling pixels.

Pros: Worked like a champ from the get go, have had no problems for almost 6 months. Plenty of USB/etc. On the Hackintosh list. Still working fine aside from one glaring issue.

Cons: Onboard video seems to have blown up on me, apparently from trying to play a 6 year old 3D game. The game ran beautifully, no evidence of overtaxing the video. but after a few minutes I saw the problem and exited the game; the pixels remained in the windows desktop. Rebooting solved the problem, but the issue returned once a couple days later, while working only in windows desktop, no games. The MB is dust free and in a nice high airflow case etcetcetc; I don't think it's a heat issue. I eventually plan to pick up a nice video card if a game that doesn't look stupid ever comes out, but I'm not going to be forced to buy one due to failing motherboard video on a relatively new piece of hardware.

Overall Review: It seems bad that 5 months after buying it's now listed as out of stock likely never to return.
