I will only buy computer products that show the CE label. Often this is marked on the shipping container so it makes it easier to identify . Proudcts made to CE specs are superior from a radiated emissions standpoint and much less susceptible to conducted emissions. In my opinion, it is a marketing feature yet to be exploited.
