    In case any one is interested MSI has SKU's posted for WT75 configurations. Seen it listed as TBD to removed for a day to back to TBD and now SKU's, google search shows some retailers with pricing at least for a few of them.

    definitely a better option than other workstation business machine



    the only thing lacking is the warranty and parts availability department

    Is this using a LGA CPU (i7 8700 non K) or a BGA CPU?
    Can the 8700 be swapped out for an 8700K and will the system work with a K series chip?

    Yeah, the latter will be the bigger problem. A warranty for 3 years won't mean much if there aren't parts to repair units.

    The 8700 is LGA, and I would guess you could at least install an 8700K if you wanted, though if you were doing so to OC, I don't know how well that would work. Might have to take all that back as more information becomes available though.

    @Mobius 1

    They claim to have a "Xeon desktop processor"
    Check this video.
    it's right on the Hanoi computer exhibition (Vietnam).

    So it's absolutely LGA.
