Made in China then shipped to the UK via the grey market.
My concern would be if you needed support or to send it back to be fixed.
Go for a "name" brand laptop.

Thank you.

Multiple purchases over last 5 years; most recent about 18m ago. Three users' experience: all as-described; no issues with any; some direct ex-China; all under £180.
Performed the usual pre-purchase due-diligence to ensure that if there were any issues or even if there are any subsequent issues it would be straightforward S75 claim up to 5-6 years.
Recent models I have seen / handled appear comparable.
Observation rather than recommendation as such a small dataset is hardly indicative of every purchase but I would include the brand when looking for another device subject to usual DD.
