    Just updated my 13 5000 2 in 1. Boot is noticeably faster, log in is MUCH FASTER, and overall smoothness of the system has been improved. Now, to test the battery life tomorrow morning. Hopfully that has increased as well. Oh, the fans are not cutting in as often either.

    My 11 3000 2 in 1 is getting them too. That should have similar results.

    FYI, both systems have MUCH improved batterie life with the new updates. I gained over an HR of time on my 13 5000.
