Just some info that some people have If you have to send your laptop back for warrenty repair please ensure that you reset to defaults before flashing back to Dell's bios. This is because in the performance section the cpu frequency is greyed out on non xm cpu's but still shows a value when flashed to dell's bios. This cannot be changed when on Dell's bios.

And do you have any info to share about the upcomming release, like info about any features or fixes made ?

v1 is not stable for me when i runing Hyper-V or vmware workstation. When i run multiple vm's on either virtualisation platform (more than 3) it crashing randomly, usually i able to run up to 6vm on vmware and 7vm on Hyper-V if every vm has only 1024mb ram allocated...back to the original dell supplied BIOS A10

My guess is, this project is Declared MIA . Probably our developers have more pressing issues deliver mods for the currently on market high end laptops. Like m18x ??? I just ordered an i7 920XM today...
