No, I don't think the company could (or would) trace the computer.
Maybe if he goes to their website and registers the PC by inputting its
serial number - but nobody does that anyway. Isn't it a bit cynical to
assume the seller is a criminal? I'd say just use the PC and enjoy it.
Just my $.02.
Good luck,
