    When I got mine that was a replacement but brand new, it did come with the latest drivers including the bios, A08. That was like 3 weeks ago.


    EDIT: It also came with the 130 watt adapter.

    I think that is definitely a good idea... I am going to fix it by selling it I think... depends if they give me an even better spec'd system or if I can't give up my warr. through 2012... because there is a revision bound before then I would sure think : )

    I haven't had problems with heating yet. I've played games, watched movies all day long (streaming, DVD, and high-def movies saved on my harddrive), and used it like a "normal" computer. Is it warm to the touch during use? Yes, but so is my 3 year old Acer laptop....
