I already ask at tecnical service from asus for the motherboard but they tell me that it's discontinued so I search it in aliexpres, found it but I´m not sure to buy it. If you have som expirience buying motherbaords from aliexpres I will appreciete your expirience.

Ha, the big question. I've seen reputable persons say they had a great outcome using AliExpress and others who say the opposite. As with Ebay, AliExpress is a marketplace of independent sellers, so it basically would just come down to each individual seller. It is so riddled with counterfeit, grey market, and lower-quality copycats, that I don't see how reputable sellers who back their products could be competitive there. Does AliExpress arbitrate disputes fairly and hold offenders accountable? I don't know, I've never used it.

You have a point with the reputable sellers and i would have more faith in ebay but even there, they haven't had the motherboard. Thanks a lot.

AE is a tool for the obscure. If you have the patience to deal with CN based dealers and ask questions before ordering it's not too bad. I've used them once so far for an LCD panel because it was at least $100 cheaper than any domestic options for a 4K120 laptop. Most have a 45 day dispute period for escrow.

if you buy large quantity of motherboard in Aliexpres then ok.. otherwise No, because shipping charge + tax etc

Maybe of the items can be found in eB*y that are on AE!

You said you found the model in Aliexpress. You must verify the seller reputation before buying. Look for seller reviews first.
