Excited when first purchased, motherboard died.
on March 7, 2017
Posted by: Alex
So I needed a quick computer to purchase pre-built as my laptop died after many years. I chose this one, the i7 was attractive to me and the other components. The case was a manageable size as well. Worked great after I put my SSD into it and reformatted the 1TB drive for extra storage. I installed a 1050Ti into it and it ran even better. 1 month later the tower would not turn on, I checked the PSU and it works by itself. The motherboard would not work, it was fried. What a terrible motherboard it is.
Pros:
Compact
i7 6700
Onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Cons:
Removing the cover just to put new video card, SSD, RAM, anything will void your warranty so that's that. Don't get this if you want to tinker around.
Integrated GPU
Wire management is terrible (not meant to be opened, so I understand)
So after my Best Buy return date lapsed, ASUS warranty is void I decided just to gut the 1TB drive, DVD drive. RAM and the i7 CPU out of it and bought a new larger case, an ASUS z270 motherboard, some new thermal paste and have an even better machine now.
Thanks but no thanks for this shoddy prebuilt, ASUS.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

So does it have 12GB Ram on main drive plus 8GB more on Hybrid drive?

The RAM is 12GB, 1x8GB and 1x4GB DIMMs.

The hybrid drive contains an 8GB "partition" of sorts to "boot faster" or something along those lines. I found it useless. Just purchase an SSD like I did to run the OS on and use the 1TB drive as extra storage.
