- leeoniya 14y agoi thought this so i googled "UEFI laptop" since i have not seen one and it pulled up nothing definitive. sounds like there are very few on the market?
- maratd 14y agoI have a Dell Vostro V131 with UEFI. I wasn't counting the POST, just the operating system boot from start to login screen.
- kyriakos 14y agoactually most laptops that came out the past 12 months apart from the very budget models have UEFI BIOS.
- shanselman 14y agoI looked around with "laptop uefi support" and found that most laptops from the last 2 years have this support. Lenovos have it as a switchable option, in fact, in their BIOS. They support Legacy and UEFI at the same time.
- freehunter 14y agoYeah, it's generally called Quick Boot, or the option to skip POST.
