TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Nice Wi-Fi, but abysmal Bluetooth

Plug & Play installation with Windows 10, Fast AC Wi-Fi.

Bluetooth is spotty at best. It failed on the 2nd boot after installation the first time around. I contacted ASUS support, and RMA'd per their recommendation.

The replacement model worked for a couple of weeks, but is now defunct again.

I give up. I got this to streamline my build, and free up more USB slots, but I'll go back to the bluetooth dongle that cost me a fraction of the price, and provides consistent, reliable bluetooth connectivity.
