I have just moved to a brand new DELL Latitude E6520, UEFI-enabled. I was told that UEFI is the way to go, solves the 2TB storage limit, shortens boot time to fraction seconds, and more.
Once configured Windows 7 Ultimate 64 on top, I have discovered that:
- Boot time is same as with Legacy BIOS mode
- Adapters are not correctly enumerated (as a result my sound card is not visible while in UEFI mode;I'm telling you because I have tried both setup in Legacy BIOS mode and UEFI mode (3 setups done right now!). Awaiting for a fix from DELL
- Hibernation doesn't work, I'm facing an error that states the the computer can't come out from H., with status 0xC000009A (no other info, no reference to hyberfil.sys)
- There's very little literature on the Internet on UEFI, so it gets difficult to evaluate and troubleshoot.
I realize that we're still at the beginning of UEFI usage, so the road looks uphill from here.
Wondering if there's a really good point to stick with UEFI nowadays....
