Some more water has passed under the bridge since I wrote the "No Fluke - Dead on Arrival" review. Best Buy was gracious in allowing me to exchange the DOA PC I received when I returned the unit to the store. Thankfully, there was one in stock and upon request, the associates opened the replacement PC in-store to check that it was bootable. The unit ran the initial boot cycle without any hitches. I took the unit home and set it up. It has been running flawlessly since 3/30/16. The specs are very good for the price and for what my kids use this PC for, the Intel Core i5; 8 gigs DDR 4 memory; 1 terabyte hard drive; 2 USB 3.1 ports; 2 USB 3.0 ports; very good sound card; among others, are well worth the price of asking. The unit is very quiet, and boots up fairly quickly even without a Solid State Drive, which I intend adding in due course. So far, so good. ASUS should still get to the bottom of what is causing some of the units to malfunction out of the box. This working unit deserves a full 5 stars!
