I've had no issues with my DELL WIN 8 convertible notebook/tablet. In fact, its running pretty much flawless over the ACER it replaced, which was plagued by hardware quality issues more than anything else. I did make the DELL restore discs almost immediately, and created my own system image backup using the free AOMEI Backupper Standard, once all bloatware was removed. I also keep a 1TB 2.5" WD USB3 drive in my notebook case w/backups as my convertible has an internal SSD drive card. No complaints so far.
I do not get the reason there is an F2 and an F12 key to press during bootup. IIRC, there was a list of bootable devices in both, only the list in the F2 window does not show the DVD or HD drive, where F12 did. Also in F2 window thw UEFI is off and legacy on, or new HD won't boot. But I seem to recall the F12 saying something about secure boot is operating.
