-asus ordered a buttload of 5700g for cheap
-asus doesn't want customers to be left with a brick if their gpu needs to be serviced (since those that are buying prebuilts aren't likely to have backup gpus laying around)

Unfortunately, Walmart is providing very little spec information. Oddly every photo they provide is of the front of the machine. Maybe anyone who has one of these units can chime in?
Is the 16GB RAM dual channel?
What's the RAM speed?
What's the motherboard & chipset?
Power supply?
How can it just have 1 HDMI-out for monitor connections? Doesn't seem accurate.
Is there an RGB on/off?
Detail on fans & cooling systems?
No Bluetooth?!
Case dimensions & weight?
Easily upgradeable?
> Is the 16GB RAM dual channel?
2x 8G dual channel, two more empty slots on the motherboard
> What's the RAM speed?
3200MHz
> What's the motherboard & chipset?
G10DK motherboard.
> How can it just have 1 HDMI-out for monitor connections? Doesn't seem accurate.
2060S has 2x hdmi, 2x displayport
> Case dimensions & weight?
The same dimensions as every other computer I've owned and similar weight
> Easily upgradeable?
Easily upgradeable.
Unfortunately, I didn't take a look at the power supply or fans while I had it open. There's supposed to be software for rgb control, but installing it hasn't worked so far on a fresh windows 10 install.
The one weird thing about this is the storage. There's two m2 slots with 4 pcie lanes, one on cpu lanes and one chipset. The first is occupied by the existing ssd. The second is buried under the video card and occupied by a wifi adapter connected via an adapter. There's no disk bay, but there is one open mounting point for a 2.5" disk.

Overall it's not too bad, but I immediately invested in another $120 or so to get it to where I want it.
The YT video that was linked above's description of the motherboard is inaccurate. Its not a B550m-k, but a modified version of it. The G10DK mobo has 1 chasses fan header (Vs 2 in the B550m-k) and no RBG 5v headers. The stock case has a custom controller which connects to the USB 2.0 header for the lighting. Asus Aura was cool to play around with but, not lighting doesn't give much utility for me.
At 100% stock, the CPU idles at slight above 40 degrees and at load slightly above 70 degrees. The ambient temp is 80 degrees.
For fun I tested replacing the 92mm back fan with a 92mm Noctua and adding a 92mm Noctua to the lower front for some air intake. The stock case is designed poorly that air barely comes in the front. The stock CPU cooler was also replaced witha Be Quiet Pure Rock 2 (92 mm fan). When replacing the CPU cooler, I found the stock thermal compound was completely dry. The small upgrades brought the CPU temp to lows 30s and load to slightly under 70. The additional fans, CPU cooler, and new thermal paste does help.
Then I ripped all the parts from the Asus case and put it into a Be Quiet 500DX. The Be Quiet case has 5 140mm fans spinning at 100%, and almost silent. It was quieter than with 2 92mm chassis fans on the stock case and had significantly more air flow. Now, the CPU is usually slightly under 30 degrees and on load less than 60 degrees.
As far as the process to move everything over, it's pretty simple. Keep in mind the G10DK mobo has 1 chassis fan header, so for multiple fans, I had to by a fan controller. The new case has RGB, but the motoboard does not. An external button on the case controls the lights instead. You will not be able to sync the lights without significant effort and cost. The mobo also only has 1 USB 3, so I have a non-working USB type C unless I wanted to do multiple adapters or a PCIE card, but that won't fit because its a micro atx and the GPU is too big. The only other issue I had is the PSU CPU power supply is really short, so I had to get an extender.
