What dose a high and mid range motherboard mean?

[Tech_head]

I dont understand what its supposed to mean, is it just a way companies advertise it? Or the higher it is the more/better specs it has?
Anyways thanks for your time.

The second is the best way to explain it.
Higher end has more features, better support, and higher quality.
Mid range/low end have less features, lower quality, but cost much less.

I say go higher end midrange for most builds. You wont need the extra features, but the quality is good and it wont break the bank.

One of the best boards that's likely "mid range" is the Asus Z87 Gryphon. It's about $155, has all the features I need, and comes with a 5-Year Warranty due to its very "TUF" build quality.

So support is as good as it gets, so I consider the "high" range to be more about features such as: wi-fi, M.2 SSD support, "SupremeFX audio", better overclocking etc.

Some of the low-end boards also have sufficient features for most people, but you need to be very careful as quality can be lacking due to using lower quality parts (i.e. capacitors).
