Everything passes in touch, even the BIOS

The touch is in vogue, is a fact. And Gigabyte has understood this, showing a "Touch BIOS, usable with fingers on a touch screen. The firmware for PC is actually based on UEFI technology - which became the standard on newer motherboards - but naturally includes an emulator that BIOS for older operating systems like Windows XP running.

In fact, we are left with large colorful buttons, but the fundamentals of the interface does not change. It's basically a pretty interface recarrossage austere traditional BIOS. Still remember that the BIOS is not a graphic novel and it did not take RIL to offer something visually pleasing.

Indeed, the BIOS of the 90s offered a graphical interface similar to that of Windows 3.0, with management parameters to the mouse. We do not yet know the names of the motherboards that will host the BIOS, or even whether it will be offered as standard or optional only. More seriously, when a BIOS in 3D?
