Quite. Same here.
Just today the maker of my fancy business laptop[1], that is not Lenovo,
told me that to replace a swollen battery under warranty I have to
either ship it off-site and spend at least 10 working days without it,
or give them 375€+VAT for someone to come change it on-site, because
they consider the battery on this one as non-user-replaceable.
My first thought after reading their mail and Mark's post here, was that
I could keep the swollen battery, and put that money, or the money I
would lose in a 10 working days downtime, into the piggy bank for a new
Lenovo laptop...

fails to officially support Debian on it :-/
