Microsoft Surface Laptop 5 Bios Boot Menu

I have used several types of laptop computers, but Microsoft Surface Pro 7 is more than I expected :)

Microsoft surface pen is a great choice

Will not recognize BT keyboard on initial boot up so need wired to get into Bios.

Pairs with the Microsoft Surface Go I got as a gift for my spouse. She's quite happy with it.

Provides all features required, LED lights and BIOS codes provide information during boot-up, easy to set up.

Works great once its set up correctly in the bios. Installed alongside the oem wd_black m.2 and used the included acronis subscription to move my OS over to the sn850x. I had to reset the cmos to get it to boot, and had to reformat the original drove to stop windows from reverting my boot order. I was initially disappointed in my benchmark scores before realizing that the pci lanes are intertwined in a way that both drives are affected. Basically, it made my original drive appear much faster than normal and the sn850x slower than advertised in testing. In real-world use, its fast and stable though. The dashboard app is also nice to have as well. Mine is mounted behind the GPU with no heatsink and never reaches above 60° at full load.

This card has it's own bios that boots when you boot the computer. I have 2 sets of HDD's configured as RAID 1 (mirrored). Great for secure storage. If the computer fails, it should not affect the data. If you blow a HDD, you can replace it and the array will rebuild itself. You can take the entire assembly and move it to another computer without data loss. It integrates itself for drive configuration as if it were plugged into the SATA bus. One caution....Make sure you purchase RocketRAID and not just a RAID card. The RAID card doesn't have the spin down function.

Easy to use, quick boot, great portable Beware it comes with Windows10 Home edition (upgrade to Pro requires registration and download from Microsoft) Lots of junk software including Microsoft junk that cannot be removed (XBOX, etc.)

Compared to a authentic grip this is 95% of it. The 5% is a litle bit different consistency of the surface when touching, the subselector feels different a litle bit less solid and a 1% of the difference is in perception of the quality of the plastic. After two days I did not notice any of this an I am a happy camper. The functions as far as I see all there and the the same. Un less you are a Nikon snob, this is a good buy.

Absolutely love this motherboard. The set up was easy in the bios was already said included right into the menu and it’s fast it’s pretty and it’s just awesome I definitely recommend buying it for gaming or just having something nice in your PC
