It's not just Amazon - you should be striving to buy things that AREN'T from China. Things from Taiwan are a good alternative. Taiwan needs all the help it can get.

For computers, ASUS is a Taiwanese brand, and pretty solid. Granted, you'll have to deal with Windows 10, but there are ways to muzzle it.

Acer is another Taiwanese brand that is good quality, have laptops and a desktop from them, quite happy. They also (since 2007) own Gateway and (now-discontinued) eMachines computer brands.

Win10 should be replaced with Linux if the user doesn't need Windows-specific software and is reasonably capable with a computer (to initially set it up).
