This date passed with no updates from Dell, but a representative reached out to us on Jan 2 and offered to send a beta version of BIOS 1.7 for us to test. Unfortunately, Dell has since followed the offer up with the following statement:

Worse still, there is currently no ETA for the new BIOS release and no explanation for why the company has postponed it. We have asked for clarification and for a new release date, but Dell has not been forthcoming on either matter. We will run tests with a beta BIOS if we receive one and will keep you updated when we hear any further information.
