Area 51 R2 Bios A01 to A03
​Has anyone with the Area 51 R2 updated their bios and how did it go, any issues? Suggestions?​ ​I'm getting ready for Win 10.​ ​What are the chances A04 comes out right after I update to A03? I'm not a fan of bios updates - once bitten twice shy, ya know?​

Area 51 R2 - UK spec or not?

Unpacked my new Area 51 R2 but I can't plug it in! See attached photo - the power cord supplied is UK spec as expected, but it doesn't plug into the socket on the back of the machine. Does anyone recognise the pin arrangement? Guess it's a call to Dell to send it back...
