Hey Guys,

I have a new G752 laptop and for some reason I can not boot into the fancy new UEFI bios. If I hit ESC or F2 it only ever puts me into the old legacy bios. Is there a trick to it?

There's no fancy BIOS like you see on those ROG boards, only the legacy looking UEFI BIOS. My ThinkPad is in the same way, as it looks like my older ThinkPad and the Asus G752VT I own seems to use the same principle of how the UEFI is represented.

Yes Asus has disabled most setting so there is no need for the elaborate interface like what they have on there motherboards.

If you can get in you are in. On the ROG laptops its pretty stripped down. No need for all the things to help you blow up your machine before its time. Everything works fine using auto detect technology. There is no legacy BIOs, its UEFI. All UEFI means is that the machines firmware is linked to the OS, nothing more. IMO this was actually a smart move by ASUS. My bet is it reduced their RMA rate by very large numbers. A laptop is not like a desktop where you can open a cover and clear the CMOS when you have screwed the pooch, hell my Maximus VIII extreme I dont even have to do that, there is a retry button in the back or I can flash the BIOS to default without even turning the machine on. It takes complete disassembly to get to the battery in a laptop, and I do me COMPLETE!! (Been there and done that).
