    I have A02 on mine, from the factory, which I received yesterday. I'm about to pull the pin on A04.

    Flashing A04 was a non-event. A04 now shows up in the BIOS, but I don't see anything different, either.

    Flashed it, no noticeable changes. The change log mentions changes to the smbios, so it could be any of a number of things, but whatever it is, it's under my radar.
