    Just wondering, why would Clevo disable secure boot by default? All other manufacturers have it enabled by default. I left it as it is but is there any benefit to having it enabled?

    If it's anything about security I am not worried as I am very well protected.

    Because the P870DM is an enthusiast's machine and Clevo is more enthusiast-friendly than other manufacturers. There is no real-world benefit to having it enabled, only downsides that get in the way of the power user/tweaker/overclocker.
