If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would cuddle with it every night before going to sleep.
If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would code in MIPS64 assembly every day.
If I had a YeeLong-8133 I would print out x86 assembly listings on toilet paper and wipe my anus with them.

I don't see the words "implying RMS doesn't practise what he preaches" in >>199-san's post, which leads me to think you don't know how to use the quoting function.
You shouldn't rely on one manufacterer for providing you computing freedom. Write snail mail to Lenovo and such using the Andy Dufresne method. If enough people do this, they will reconsider their positions and become more freedom-respecting.

We don't rely on one, we just happen to support the one manufacturer who does provide freedom in their notebook computers. I do like your suggestion to try improve the state of affairs for users. I have personally written letters outlining my opinion on the matter of user freedom to the ODM companies as well as to the brand owners and their distributors. While I'm pessimistic of any changes resulting from my letters, I can certainly say that my actions raise awareness about people who care for user freedom - even if it stays solely within the business communication gatekeepers.
