On a related note, I thought (on some systems) they’ve replaced BIOS with something else, which often locks you out of replacing the OS.
(I should know this for sure, but don’t)

This sort of thing wouldn’t work at all for me. I’m a touch-typist and my fingers rest on the keys.
I’m currently using a couple of refurbished Lenovo laptops (a T61 and an X201 Tablet), and the nice thing about them is that they came with a clean Windows 7 installation from the refurbisher. Sadly, this won’t be an option soon, but at least they run Linux very well. They’re likely to be my last Lenovo products, though, after their recent malware-in-the-BIOS shenanigans.

That’s nothing a good fdisk cannot fix. My real “it’s also Lenovo” worry is more along the lines of “after 6 months it won’t boot properly, some some little piece of shitty plastic will break, and the whole thing will become a very expensive and very nice-looking trivet”.

That’s very cheap. Which should tell you about the materials involved.
