Its not smoke and mirrors. Systems are completely capable of booting this
quickly. Believe what you want though.
The latest Vaio Z-series machines have an Insyde H2O UEFI firmware with
BIOS compatibility. The boot time is not noticably faster. I /believe/
that the Aspire One is based on the same platform, so is technically an
EFI machine - however, there doesn't appear to be any means of actually
booting through it (rather than the compatibility layer) so the
difference is pretty academic.
Good info on the Vaio Z-series. Out of curiosity, is there a UEFI
shell/console accessible on the Acer One? Or is this permanently in
legacy BIOS compatibility mode? Dont know if you actually know or have
access to the hardware...
