    really, wow, they are already on A07 with the AW 17 with this new one. I haven't been home to try it yet though. The release date for A07 says 1/17/14. With any luck they will have them for all the systems soon.

    1/17/14 not 12/17/14. That would be December of this year, which hasn't happened yet ;)

    I don't see anything either...(when you filter on 0-30 days all it shows are the on screen display update from 14th Jan and the latest gfx drivers)

    The only things I see that are new are the On Screen Display Application and the 331.65 dell drivers.

    No bios. However, I am already on AO7 bios from a while ago (on an AW17)
