I "own" one of those. My previous employers went under. I asked them several times for a fedex label so I could return their stuff. They never did.

I bought one of those locked by Company X laptops. It went out of business and I needed a new display, cheap. And some former employee now has $100.

It's a bummer, I could have keep using it as a media platform or a plain functional laptop without root if I had knew that before hand.

I had my account on this. I formatted and that when I saw that I will not be able to re-install anything that I realized I bricked a perfectly fine machine.

Oh well.
