Its a circular piece of thick cellophane tape over the tab in the top flap. If someone really wanted to tamper with the laptop it would not be hard to bypass the tape "seal". You pretty much have to rely on the integrity of the seller.

Thanks for the reply.

It would be more better if you provide images of the outside box if you have.

Found this online:

 

 

I don't think that was on the last new laptop I opened a few weeks ago.
