It does not need to be used, its mere presence helps.
- once booting nice and fast, it still goes slow as soon as I disconnect
the device. The opposite is not true (while booting slow, connecting
something has no effect).
This seems to point blame at the USB controller? Perhaps it's flooding
the CPU with interrupts for whatever reason?
That sounds like bad hardware or firmware. Only Lenovo can debug that.
David, thanks for your suggestion to try booting from a flash drive,
this let me find the workaround :-)
YW.
David and Kent, the computer is sealed (still on warranty) so I'd rather
not take it apart just yet. It expires in a few days
I would return the computer immediately.
