I replaced the WLAN card on my wife's Lenovo consumer laptop a few years ago and needed a hacked BIOS because the original one was the only one that was accepted for ... I don't know what reasons. Lenovo -- in that price bracket -- isn't really better in that respect.

Well, it was easy to find and replace, though. The laptop just wouldn't boot afterwards ;-)
