If it was inserting adverts into 3rd party websites I think those websites could sue Lenovo for stealing their advertising space, no?

This is a valid point. However, technically, nothing is changing on the third party site. Those sites are changed locally on the user's laptop. I don't think that's much different from something like AdBlock. I'm not sure there's much any third party site could do about this.
