    Do most of you really use A03 Bios for R1?

    I am using A5 and am just wondering what is the difference and why do so many of you hang back with it?

    For me chiefs. A03 has worked great. No problems that I have encountered. With A04 I encountered the annoying adapter warning message every time I started the notebook up from a fully shutdown state.

    With A05 things were looking good however every time I unplugged my system from the AC adapter and then later went to plug it back in again the battery would not charge. I would have to drop the battery and plug it back in which was soooooooooo annoying each time. So I gave up and reverted back to good old stable A03.
    Just my experience chiefs.

    Cheers. :)
