A UEFI bios looks like this :

Other than looking much better than the usual bios setup, it also allows you to select things using the mouse.

Anyway, I believe that the UEFI bios is only compatible with the latest Acer laptop models that come with Windows 8 by default. You won't be able to switch to a UEFI bios from a standard bios.
