A good solid no frills motherboard
This motherboard is great for a school or office type computer that is expected to have a long service life. It's a basic board without many frills, keeping the cost low, but because it's a CSM part, it's supposed to be available and supported longer than the more commercial models for home/gamer use. Feature wise, this board has more than enough I/O for typical school/office use. It could do with a few more USB3 ports on the back, but that aside it's more than good enough for most lower cost use cases. About the only other thing I can think of that would be good on these types of boards is something like Intel's v-Pro remote management stuff, but I don't think AMD have really played much in that space yet. Otherwise, combined with the well-behaved ASUS UEFI, you have a good solid board that will behave well for years to come.
