    I find it's best to update when I have a problem that needs fixing.

    Wait a couple of weeks, then it should be pretty safe to install. The last TP BIOS update, they suspended the download after a few days because there was a problem with the installer/flasher, but of course they fixed it now. Anyway, I always use the latest BIOS for all my computers. But like I said, if you're worried, just wait a week or two to be sure unless you have problem(s) needed to be fixed. It's always good to keep your BIOS up to date from personal experiences.
