Windows 8 Exclusive Features
ASUS Boot Setting
Multiple startup options
Thanks to ASUS Windows 8 hardware optimization, ASUS Boot Setting provides
better flexibility in customizing your PCs startup process. You can shorten
system boot-up time to 2-seconds* for a smoother user experience under Windows 8,
and even previous versions of Windows. Also, you can enter the BIOS directly
with one click through a user-friendly interface, and quickly select your
preferred system boot up method: either get to the OS in seconds or opt for
regular boot up. Whatever your choice, settings are saved and persistent,
with no need to choose every time you power on.
