Still, regardless of the method used or whether the upgrade is performed by a regular or power user, it's recommended that the new BIOS be applied in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit. When it comes to applying a new version without taking into account the computer's operating system, the most commonly used method to flash the BIOS is by creating a bootable USB or CD containing the update file, and running it from DOS. In addition to that, this task should be performed by someone who has the knowledge to successfully complete the installation regular users may fulfill it at their own risk. About OS Independent BIOS:Īlthough installing a newer BIOS version might add new features, update various components, or improve the device's usability, this process is very risky, so the upgrade is recommended to be performed only when it is really needed. Even though other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying this release on platforms other than the ones specified. If it has been installed, updating (overwrite-installing) may fix problems, add new functions, or expand existing ones. This package contains the files needed for installing the BIOS. Fixes an issue where the notebook takes a long time to boot when an HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One Printer is connected to the right side USB port. While it takes some time to familiarize yourself to the odd trackpad design with the buttons placed on opposite ends, we're pleased to report that the trackpad's sensitivity was excellent and we found that we could comfortably navigate with the trackpad without any problems.- Fixes an issue where the Embedded WLAN Device option is missing in the BIOS. In this multimedia department, the Mini-Note was a clear winner in its category and more so when compared to most other notebook speakers that we've previously tested. When we started testing the Mini-Note and got it to play both music and videos, we had a pleasant surprise with the volume output and clarity of the speakers, which was startlingly loud and clear without any distortion even at maximum volume. ![]() But it's not just the keyboard that's impressive. Squeezing an almost full-sized (92%) keyboard (that is well spaced and with excellent pitch) into the space limited by an 8.9-inch screen is something of an engineering feat, in our opinion. So it's no surprise the Mini-Note comes beautifully designed for its small form factor and quite frankly, we were amazed at both its compact design and size. We like to note (again) that the HP Mini-Note pictured here is not the final retail unit but it will look very similar as we've confirmed with HP that only very minor cosmetic updates would be present on the full retail edition. These days, most notebooks come with different colors and designs while allowing for some customization with skins. Gone are the days where notebooks were bulky and ugly and came in only one standard color, black. If there's one thing that HP is big on, it's definitely designing gorgeous notebooks for the masses. ![]()
