    1. Do you need to update the BIOS or is it already done for you?

    2. Is there a power-saving mode? If so how long does it last?

    3. Can it play Supreme Commander?

    Thankyou

    1) There is no need to update the BIOS and there is no BIOS to update to
    2) Yes there is, you are probably looking at a maximum and optimistic time of 2.5 hours without gaming and doing light surfing the web stuff at reduced screen brightness
    3) Yes on max settings on native rez

    Im sure this laptop at stock drivers and parts can Max anything from 2007 and below besides Crysis, FSX and the odd exception.
