    My vendor is selling Dell laptop N5110 with plain brown color laptop packing box without 'break a seal sticker', So Is it fine to purchase that laptop.

    I have check the laptop purchase by other people from him, Laptop has every thing perfect but for me seal is concern

    Please suggest some point that i need to verify before the purchase.

    As long as everything is okay, I don't see the problem. Was it new or refurbished? Refurbished boxes come in brown boxes and are just taped shut.

    Well no always. When I bought my brother's M5030 (it's a 279.99 laptop), it came in a relatively plain brown box with the black Dell logo + stickers. Their higher end laptops maybe, but that is no guarantee either (my dad's base Studio 1558 ~650 USD came in a plain brown box too, same as the M5030). I just think it depends on which batch you get your Dell from.

    Almost all Dell laptops are made in China.

    IIRC Dell's ship from Malaysia, though China would not surprise me. The cheapest Sony laptops ship from China, as do Lenovo's, Apple products. I don't think China has anything to do with the boxing nor quality.
