So basically Z390 is Z370 with USB Port Disable, new Intel ME firmware and the OPTIONAL option of WLAN a/c? Well ... I was able to disable specific ports even on X79/C600, the Intel ME firmware is useless for most users I guess, and judging from >Z<390 it will be a 1,5 MB version anyway, so no remote features and for about 10 bucks you get a decent WLAN chip, for 30something with 833MBit+.
So why should a user upgrade to this platform?

to me this is another Intel fail.
socket 1151 could easily have been fully compatible, excepting of course, chipset sales.
with the new AM4 X470 boards at least we have a feature set that will be used by over 50% of people buying them with backwards and forwards compatibility.
with that said, pcie/U2 storage prices are falling faster than knickers at a rave.
whether or not people *need* hyper-fast storage is irrelevant. people *want* it, or to be able to add it at a later date.
