Acer Aspire E15 (E5-521-844N) Boots in Legacy mode. In UEFI mode, the BIOS forced secure boot and would not allow me to boot from the image. This laptop is generally not recommended for FreeBSD. I bought it because of the A8 processor and the 1TB disk. But the disk is as slow as molasses and the keyboard tends to drop spaces and returns. The Radeon R5 graphics work in VESA mode, and I was able to get better performance at an earlier stage of 11-STABLE, but I have seemingly forgotten the correct magic to get kernel mode setting to work on 11-BETA. -- George
