Pros: The BIOS is incredibly simple and easy to work with. That is a huge plus, take a second to appreciate it please. For a first time builder, the slots being reinforced is also a wonderful because I have two heavy left hands and didn't break anything. GPUs are really heavy now and the M7 didn't have any trouble taking a MSI 1070 Armor. Aesthetics are wonderful because its not a gaudy red and black scheme unless you decide to pump the RGB leds to be red the entire time. M.2 slots for days, SLI capable, and simplistic design keep it relatively understated.
Cons: The power, reset, and the led next to the overclocking dial are red, the LED up top above the RAM slots is green; so if you're trying to go for a clean, white or solid color aesthetic feel for your build it may not be for you. Initially wanted to go for a black and white build and the LEDs at 'white' have a blue hue to them, the green LED up top stays lit if your shroud LEDs are on, the power LEDs stay red; if you're getting LED memory that isn't RGB, go red or stay without LEDs on the idea that you may end up with red, white, and green LEDs lit the entire time as if its Christmas inside your case all year long. When in doubt, get everything RGB.
Overall Review: I would definitely recommend this product to other people. I would purchase this product again or maybe the M5, considering that I'd probably not take advantage of the added capabilities from the M5 to the M7- but I do like blowing money so this M7 is great. If I could change anything, its that all the LEDs would be RGB, but thats just purely aesthetic so it doesn't weigh too heavily on your decision if you're about to buy this. Fully enclosed cases without glass panels would probably make you not care at all about that.
