One thing I saw in my new English BIOS that I kinda liked was that it said the battery condition was good. > Note: While the device is a touchscreen, physical keyboard navigation > with arrow keys may be possible - the Enter, and F-keys may be more > reliable within the UEFI/BIOS than touch or mouse. I had to use the keyboard as neither the touchscreen or mouse worked on the BIOS screen. ------- As mentioned earlier the physical on-off switch always shuts down the tablet. I have yet to find a setting anywhere to change it to sleep. But I found that I can use the sleep button on the Windows Start screen and the tablet will sleep so that's a workaround for now. Another interesting thing in Control Panel. It has a Backup and Restore Windows 7 section. Apparently that's what was on the device when new. But when opened it says it has not been set up. Darn...
