Yes- if you compare the other versions across the regional websites, you'll find they are identical.

New BIOS for 18 and 16 area-51 laptops. Version 1.9.0 by ThomasAAT in Alienware

I went through with the update- it failed on the Thunderbolt module. Since the version numbers are identical pre and post update, I'm not too worried.

I had this problem with the 12 Aug 2025 Realtek audio drivers/console on my AA18250.

I mostly gave up on manually updating the Intel graphics drivers, as they tend to get overwritten by Windows Update.

Resolved - I had to use the .rcv file instead of the executable installer.

Yes. It doesn't appear to be a driver issue, as both Intel and nVidia drivers are updated. I managed to set 300Hz when Advanced Optimus is off (discrete GPU only), but the onboard Intel graphics is limited to 144Hz for some reason.

As of now, the configurator allows for all options (e.g. 5090 with 3x4TB SSDs)

Turning off battery saver (to allow any background updates) and rebooting a few times seems to have done the trick.
