The ROM date says 1/20 but it was not on the Download site yesterday...

I cant update or back up, it says no AC connected, but it is!

systemghost

navigating dell's website is not fun...more so with pie...

Thanks for the links

Has anyone noticed any speed increases with the menus? Such as hitting the start menu, the delay time for it to pop up, has this improved at all?

Thanks

This update isn't on the Australian site yet... Would I be correct in assuming the US update will work on an Ozzie X50v?

Cheers
