Then I wasn't clear enough because it's all linked together for me. The UEFI mention was not just for a commentary, but to back the discussion on the monopoly. And I think you missed some conclusions I drew from all this that I don't recall reading anywhere else.

Well, if you're the author, it will be weird if it didn't made sense to you. The argument I'm making isn't that all this information is out of place, as indeed they all link together, but that many of those (specifically the things I mentioned) apply to every manufacturer. So it's kinda strange when the subject is about Lenovo and read all those which aren't specific to Lenovo.

Yes they apply to the others as well, but also to them, and fact is it's Lenovo machines I bought. And for once the lesson is not directed at Apple. But I understand it can be disconcerting. I should probably try to rework this generic part into its own article someday.
