Most Critical Review

Boot Loop

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Gaming Motherboard
ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VII HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Gaming Motherboard

Pros: When this board is working correctly, its amazing.

Cons: First board worked for about a week then went into a boot loop. The replacement mobo has been running for a few days without any issues. Despite the bad apple, I don’t want to discourage anyone from ASUS motherboards. I’ve been building machines for about 20 years. This is the first bad Asus motherboard I’ve gotten. Asus will continue to be my first pick when buying motherboards.

Overall Review: Clearing the CMOS seemed to work on fixing the boot loop, however the PC would then randomly crash while loading up windows. This seemed to corrupt the OS and cause additional problems.

Pros: The SSD and the I5 makes this a very fast laptop, sadly I had to experience this through a secondary monitor since the Back-light was burnt out.

Cons: This Laptop comes with windows 8 not windows 7 Pro. There is no secondary disk in the box to switch operating systems either.

Overall Review: Bit on the heavy side.

Pros: Nice look and feel.

Cons: The "N" Key just started sticking and locking down. Had to pop it it out a few times then it started working correctly.

Worth the price

Pros: Once you fiddle around with it for awhile and get it working it works great.

Cons: Default drivers didn't work with this mouse. Support website was a little hard to read. Might be the fact that I can't read Chinese, I dunno.
