    You're best off if you get BIOS from your reseller, as you want to make sure that you have the most up to date SAGER BIOS (you cannot flash between Clevo and Sager BIOS, as it will brick your laptop). You can also find them here but I recommend going the reseller route first: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/416916-clevo-bios-thread.html

    Your laptop will already come flashed with the latest BIOS.

    So, for Malibal you're going to need CLEVO bios. Just contact their customer service, they'll email them to you.

    Never flash a BIOS, unless an update specifically fixes a problem you are having.

    Things go wrong, so why risk it, for nothing?
