Given current technology, BIOS cannot be accessible. The reason for this is that no software can be loaded at this point, so its impossible to have speech up and running. The only theoretical way to cause bios to be accessible would be if the manufacturer specifically wrote a screen reader for that individual BIOS and motherboard, but somehow I doubt that happened. We're going a bit far from gaming here though, so maybe this topic could go off-list?

How the heck can you make bios accessible? Thanks, Ari On Nov 16, 2015, at 3:44 PM, Shaun Everiss <sm.ever...@gmail.com> wrote: Hmmm I had a nec which had the same issues didn't last that long. I had a system hp to maintain that overheated. As long as you can get passed their malware asus stuff is generally stable and rock solid. I havn't used their laptops but their desktop graphics and main boards are and I have had no issue with either from a hardware standpoint. Some del units seem good to though I still go toshiba just because of the accessible bios alone and a few other tweaks. They also use standard hardware, for sound etc these days. On the hp front their website is quite unfriendly driver site, eprint, etc. However their printers especially their web enabled ones are quite good.

I now avoid HP like the plague myself because their systems tend to be very below the par on average, and I know others with similar experiences. My dad, for instance, had a HP laptop for about six months, very barely used, and it died. So I don't generally buy HP anything if I can help it these days.

The first and only laptop I got from them kept having issue after issue, where both of my Dells, except for one problem, have run for years before giving up the ghost. One lasted for six years, and The other lasted for five years and seven months. Technically the one that lasted for six years still works, since I put Vinux onto it after I couldn't find my XP disc's after reformatting the system after I got a rather nasty virus that I was having a ton of trouble removing. I can't wait to have a solid-state drive in the new laptop that I'm getting soon. It's going to be awesome! It'll be my first system with eight gigs of RAM and a 2.9 Core i5 processor; it's the architecture that's one generation behind the new Skylake processors, but that's fine for me. The model I'll be getting is a Lenovo ThinkPad T450S. Thanks, Ari --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
