Yeah, but if someone owns said model of laptop there's a good chance they'll 
need the rest of it sometime.

I had the same thing until a year or two ago when it became affordable to 
have an ISP plan that left so much headroom I started using it....

That would be very complicated for Lenovo to run though. This way they 
provide all of the info the owner of a certain laptop will ever need in a 
single 'download once' package. No need to be on-line to access it (which 
bugs me no end - is it Dell who do it like that? Really annoying if I don't 
have said laptop on-line yet...).

Also though, if you want more detail Lenovo has individual streaming video 
service guides for removal of various parts - including parts like the LCD 
display. (They re-arranged their website recently so I can't give you a link 
as an example - mine are broken now.)
