Dell Laptop shipped from China

I ordered this from Dell http://www.dell.com/ie/p/inspiron-15-5558-laptop/pd?ref=PD_Family it states on the page that it ships in 2-4 days so far so good but I couldn't figure out why the delivery date seemed so far away (Ordered on 2nd Sep delivery due 16th) till tracking showed it's shipping from China.

Should I be worried or will this be a better build than a polish one?

It's for a college student no games just browsing and streaming and I suppose a small bit of college work.

Are all Dell's now manufactured in China and has it impacted on reliability? I went with Dell as my own laptop is still going strong after 8+ years (fingers crossed).

I wouldn't worry too much and pretty much all modern electronics are made in China, Dell aren't even the biggest PC supplier anymore Lenovo are and they are Chinese. The components supplied to Dell in Poland would come from China anyway.

As to whether it will last 8 years a lot depends on how well the laptop is looked after really.

What happened to Poland (taking over from Limerick)? Surprised to find a relatives order has a two week lead time and was dispatched from China a few days ago. Rather disappointing when in the past I've taken delivery within 3wkng days.
