Update

Unfortunately, Dell has seemingly changed its mind over when it is releasing the next BIOS release. In a subsequent private message, a representative commented that:

"As of now, we do not have an update on the BIOS update release...There should be an update soon."

We hope that "soon" still means the end of this month, but that remains to be seen. The representative also stated that Dell is "confident" that the next BIOS release will resolve the NVIDIA GPU issue, but the wording of the latest update is less than encouraging that it will see the light of day before the new year.

Please let us know in the comments if you have experienced otherwise or if you have contacted Dell about dedicated GPU issues with any of its laptops.
