    I've seen there's a new version of the Bios on Dell support page.
    The version is A10. Where may I find info about the version installed on my laptop?
    Does it worth the update?

    BIOS is almost always worth the update. The installer will know if you have an old version or not, but it should be on the boot screen with the Dell logo.

    Oh, it apparently isn't on the boot screen, but if you actually go into the BIOS it will tell you.
