    Aren't they available already? My x120e has UEFI (I even installed Win 7 x64 in EFI mode).

    So is it blazing fast when booting?

    Can you post a video?

    How do you toggle between UEFI and BIOS?

    Well, the time from turn on to the windows boot process is fast... but Windows still takes a fairly long time to load (it is still loading from a mechanical disk after all). It takes about 55 seconds for my system (with a good bit of software) to boot, so nothing worth seeing a video for.

    Here's a picture of the UEFI screen that allows you to select UEFI boot:
