Reviewers Didn't Like

  • High price
  • Bundled accessories do require additional hardware to make the most of them
  • Seems like the Z97DELUXE (WLC& NFC) is trying to do everything at once when it does not need to
  • Color scheme used may not appeal to all
  • Z97 chipset lacks innovative features
