I wish I could say just "no" but nowadays you can't be sure where used laptops have been anyway. If you can't buy a new laptop, you could as well just buy one that has been in China.

Thanks for your reply. Somewhat a different topic, but do you think it would be ok for me to ask him? He has a Chinese family Name and has heritage there.
