    I'm waiting for a laptop to turn up tomorrow, its an AW M15x. It has an Italian Keyboard, so I'm guessing the Bios would be in Italian too? If it is, is there anyway to flash the Bios into English?

    Cheers

    Mine has a German QWERTZ keyboard but my Bios was in English and I updated it with the latest Bios from Dells UK site when i recieved it.

    So you won't have any problems either.

    Hope this helps.

    A couple of months ago I had a problem with a Dell computer and the tech guy leaded me through the process of upgrading the BIOS. Although the system was in Spanish, the BIOS was in English.
