Love it.

MSI Z270 SLI PLUS LGA 1151 Intel Z270 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Great looking mobo. Setup is easy. Really there wasn't anything needed.

Cons: The utilities disc should be USB. My last two system have not had optical drives. Not taking any eggs off because the utilities and drivers are easily found on MSI's website.

Overall Review: Recommended for those looking for a great mobo that has some some flash, but will allow other things to make the "wow" factor. Used this to build a system for my wife and she loves the way it looks and performs.

Very Nice

Pros: Looks great. Build-in presets for RGB slider are nice. Will match my case/mobo/ and room aesthetics.

Cons: Taller than expected RGB cable was too short to reach the header on m,y motherboard. This is the loss of one egg. It was the whole reason I went with these. Now having to source am extension for it.

Overall Review: I would recommend this to people using a liquid cooler. Probably don't want to risk the height being an issue for normal HSF coolers.

Pros: Have this paired with my Optoma GT1080 and the picture is great when gaming or watching movies.

Cons: None really.

Overall Review: You do have to build your own frame. It comes with instructions and isn't hard at all. Took about 30 minutes to cut, assemble, and then mount the screen. The bungees are not low quality but seem like something that would need to be replaced after awhile.

Pros: It has a nice bright picture that's easily seen during the day in my living room. The HDMI ports have low input lag so playing my Xbox One on it is great. While it is the loudest piece of equipment in my living room it is still fairly quiet. I can't hear it over the sound of what I'm watching.

Cons: Only two HDMI ports, no optical audio output. Lens shift would be nice.

Overall Review: As stated above, it isn't silent. However, I have the projector on a table in front of my couch and I can only barely hear it when the room is silent. When watching a movie or playing games I can't hear it. The addition of a third HDMI would be nice, along with an optical audio output. I have my gaming PC and Xbox One connected to this. Movies and games look great and input lag is low.

Perfect

Pros: Nice finish, above average webcam, good built-in mic, clean and clear screen. Purchased this for my wife for writing, light gaming and the occasional video call. It handles these great. The webcam isn't perfect, but is much better than what you'd normally find on a laptop. Also, the weight is distributed very well and doesn't have a lop-sided feel.

Cons: Initial setup was extremely slow

Overall Review: The pictures really don't do the finish justice. It's a very good looking laptop. I would recommend this laptop to others.
