    Hi Meaker, can you tell me where I can find the new bios of 169X? From Taiwan website, up to now only the factory default BIOS are on it (3C11 for X600 model, 3C25 for X700 model).

    Thanks! :eek:

    I take it by your sig, you don't like reflective screens :D It is a bit funny we went from them being as non reflective as possible (so usable in sunlight) to the complete opposite.
