This is insane! Apple set the precedent with smart phones, but now we have Trusted Computing Creep in desktops. Used are losing further control of their own devices.
Ugh.

This won't really affect Arch any more than any other new hardware missing a driver, because that's all it really is (source: [1]). This hardware won't be usable until someone (either a someone with knowledge and free time or Lenovo or Intel) provides a driver for this hardware.
