ASUS has done a good job of kitting out the board with just the right amount of features for a moden Intel 13th Generation Raptor Lake system, while doing away with frills so as to keep costs low. We still get features such as a decent VRM setup, PCIe 5.0 support for a graphics card, 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet and ample USB 3.2 connectivity options, while doing away with less important features such as an integrated I/O shield, heatsinks for all M.2 drives and so on.
