    If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say that it improves the Double Key issue, and Adds Support for Ubuntu PTT feature

    But in all seriousness, BIOS'es aren't like graphics cards drivers. You don't always need to have the latest version.

    They are usually bug fixes. And if you aren't specifically affected by one of the bugs that's fixed, you usually won't get any benefit from a BIOS update. Very very rarely do they have some kind of adjustment that affects everyone, such as adjusting fan profiles or something like that. And if there is something like a fan profile adjustment, it's usually near the early release of a laptop. Once they get it right, they won't bother messing with that issue again.
