Pros: The POST QLED system told me there was an issue.
Asus support web page showed me how to try to resolve.
Ultimately I was dealing with a defective product.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Difficult to assess a product when its defective.
I now have to ship it back and wait for a replacement. probably weeks.....
Integrated graphics was not working and using two sticks of ram instead of one caused problems.
Asus tech support said to return it. The delays are significant.
