    Mr Fox is an expert laptop modder and Prema Bios user. I interview him so as to make more users aware of what can be done.

    Thanks! It was a pleasure talking with Mr Fox. He is a really nice guy and very knowledgeable. I have learnt a lot from watching his videos and I hope I was able to get others to do the same

    I really enjoyed that video, great job!

    Been lurking for a few years before I registered here on NBR, and Mr. Fox and, not to exclude anyone else (you know who you are!!), have been absolutely brutal modders when it came to laptops- truly fascinating.

    Absolutely credit to @Mr. Fox. He is the genius behind both the Bottom Service Panel Ventilation Mod and the CMOS Battery Reset re-location Mod...we are just the grasshoppers, learning from the Jedi Grand Master.

    It's good to see you and your crew recognize Jedi Fox's work and and embrace such mods into your offerings. I and many others definitely appreciate HIDevolution's 'can do' attitude and initiative :vbthumbsup:
