I guess there isn't a need to update to these new bios if you aren't planning to upgrade to Windows 8. Seems really optional for current users.

Awesome. Surprisingly, my Alienware was shipped in A02 bios. So now I'm kinda in a dilema which to upgrade to. Of course, a bios which allows the disabling of charging the battery while plugged in to a AC(just like the older alienwares) will be the best!

Did anyone experience really bad wear and tear on the M14X R2's palm rest after a few weeks of usage(considering you game on it everyday for 7 hours)? Knowing that it is rubber coated, the plastic will be revealed really quick won't it?

(I'm not sure if I should quote this entire post, but anyways) Wow, thanks for the detailed instructions! I really appreciated it a lot. I will definitely download the application and try it out once I receive my Alienware in a couple days. I don't mind the loud noise from the fan because I use headphones anyways, and I want a cooler notebook! Firstly I'll do a disassembly first to replace the thermal paste though, I remember seeing it in this forum! I currently have the Arctic MX-4 stored somewhere.

New member here, glad to see so many awesome work done by you guys. Is there by any chance, where the bios allows us to adjust the fan speed manually on the M14X R2? (Or any programmes)
