The warranty for the laptop is not from the store, it's from the manufacturer. The only obligation the store is under is to handle the warranty if the customer chooses; anything above and beyond this is a bonus.
Repair or replacement will be at the manufacturer's discretion.
Also, I didn't ask why you were going to 'go legal', I asked how.
The sale is between you and the shop while the warranty is given by the manufacturer to you. The store itself will pass it on to the manufacturer for you but won't have to get it repaired if the manufacturer rejects your warranty claim.
Actually, that's not strictly true; they can repair it or have someone else repair it but you'd have to pay.
