I've got the R2 as well with the GTX 675. Even though secure boot can't be enabled, can I still benefit from UEFI fast boot?

is it possible to get UEFI to work if you have a GTX 675m on the m18x r2? Will fastboot work? I don't care about secureboot.

Since my M18x R2 has the Intel adapter for the optimus or whatever it's called switching, I was able to get UEFI to work with the Intel adapter. But now the UEFI BIOS settings don't show discrete graphics card installed at all. Bummer

does anyone know if it's possible to get the GTX 675m to work with UEFI? Anyone able to create vbios for this card?

It's similar to the difference between a ford focus and subaru wrx, they both will get you to work, but one is much better in every way.

I've owned many toshiba notebooks (currently I have a satellite P750), they are fine, but when you need real power you will find they can't keep up.

Also you have very little access to most components unless you take the notebook apart completely. The chassis is usually poor quality, especially in the cheaper consumer models.

Now I'm not saying alienware is the best you can get, but when you pay more you do usually get more.

Let's see:

Toshibas are shoddy build quality, look extremely gaudy, offer terrible customer support.

Alienware is top of the line build quality (magnesium chassis), has amazing customer support.

There you go.

And I take offense to the car analogy. Subaru's suck. The new Ford Focus is an amazing car who's head gaskets won't begin leaking after 70k miles. Oh, and AWD is a waste of money and gas mileage.

I flashed without problems in Windows 8.1. I enabled legacy boot and everything ok.
