All new Laptop reviews need
All new Laptop reviews need to include a check of the UEFI/BIOS for the presence of a secure-boot off switch! Welcome to your new Freemium OS, it starts with the games, it ends with your PC/Laptop hardware chained to the ecosystem in Redmond’s dungeons! You’ll be serfs on the web rather than surfing the web!
I don’t think we have come
I don't think we have come across one without the ability to disable secure boot. No need to make a big deal about that unless it actually happens.
Please check every reviewed
Please check every reviewed laptop SKU that comes with windows 10 preinstalled, you never know when a feature may disappear, and an off switch for Secure Boot will be necessary should M$ drag its feet(Again) with the UEFI/BIOS secure boot key signing authority that is under M$’s control. This is a new OEM “option” to not provide a secure boot OFF switch in the UEFI/BIOS for windows 10 preinstalled on OEM PC/Laptop hardware, so I would not expect it to show up at this early stage for windows OSs prior to windows 10 OEM factory installed on PC/Laptop SKUs. It is a small UEFI/BIOS feature, that is a big deal for those that may want the ability to install alternative OSs on the latest third party OEM laptop hardware. This is not as much of an issue for gaming rigs.
Conspiracy dood.
Conspiracy dood.
And more M$ voodoo with M$’s
And more M$ voodoo with M$’s WUDO, along with the EULA from hell to make your PC/Laptop hardware just another node in Nutdella’s sulfurous cloud! That’s got to hurt those “Unlimited” data plans from the big cable Monopoly. And now there is MicroBOT$ slurping your metrics, along with your data budget for the day/month/year!
Hey M$! PCs they’re not Phones!
