    Be very careful as there are allot of scams and faulty products being sold, especially chips from China that are 95% defective and don't work and you will be stuck with either the return shipping or with a faulty none working mainboard.

    Also, systems designed for internal use in China have different specs for builtin security like TPM. They are required to have the ability for the government to decrypt without getting passwords from the user, which isn't the case for export units.
