I'm pretty sure it's mostly a liability thing. Lame but considering their average end user it's probably not as dumb of a choice as it seems. I just wish we didn't have to go through third party tools to mess with some basic BIOS settings. My old machine never gave me trouble there.

Yeah, the the general stability of the network card leaves a lot to be desired. I've had times where the connection just refused to stay connected for more than a couple of hours at a time, oddly enough especially when torrenting. While resetting the modem and router does alleviate the issue it's not an ideal solution nor is it one that's always available to me. Lenovo offers a lot of bang for your buck so I can understand cutting small corners here and there but this is an exception and the main reason I've seen a lot of people pass on buying these machines in the first place.
