While I have to agree with Andy about the brokenness of OS locked Bios, I have also found that it is as likely they will refuse the return because you did something unexpected/non-standard to it. If you can return it and get a different one. If you cannot, then complain all over the place -- bad PR is something that chips away a little by little at this typ of crap. Also, take a look at the low end Sager/Clevo laptops. There are companies which configure them with linux installed. I use high end versions of these at work and home.
