about the VBIOS, perhaps have to wait some geeks to release the VBIOS, as GTX780M is too new at the moment.
not so sure about the new one, but the old one, R4 is user upgradeable. they even give easy access to HDD and RAM (except the 2 beneath the keyboard). graphics card is upgradeable too.

it just hit malaysia's shore at the moment. event customizations are not allowed at the moment. so perhaps we have to wait a bit longer.

The newer systems are just released, give it some time for customization options to come yo 
And yes there will definitely be customizable nameplates, again give Dell time 

yes.

linky please?
because i know it can support 1HDD and 2mSATA.

Just called up Dell Sales, they informed me that new model of AW will no longer have the name plate provided. Not sure whether they will provide later on?

Just looked at those on the aw website, wow. Pretty ugly compared to the ones I have now.

When I say ugly, I just mean the front of the back pack but I bet the insides are still the same as the orion.

The Orion is a great back pack, been using it for a year. It has a compartment in front (two smaller areas on the front compartment to put stuff), one in the middle, and one in the back where you put the laptop. Laptop area is easily accessible in case you're at the airport or wherever and they need to see it. The back pack is pretty great quality I think, I've put in a lot of equipment and it's still holding strongly. I usually travel with a mouse, power banks, tons of cables, phone dock, other accessories. Plus a bunch of stationary, plus the laptop/power cables (which are pretty heavy). Once you have the back pack on your shoulders, you don't feel much because it's so comfortable. Possibly the best back pack I've used so far and very sturdy. I also like the plain front design compared to vindicator but that's just personal preference.

Here are some pictures



I use to think it was small too, but it fits a lot of stuff

I just prop the back of the laptop up with a 1 inch book.

Yeah, works great. If you're in an air conditioned room even better.

Hi, DDR3L is just a lower voltage RAM (1.35v vs 1.5v). You can still use the DDR3 ram for your machine. They're still debating if it'll affect the battery performance with the difference but I doubt it, the brand is a beast. Don't expect ultrabook battery durations.
