Other forum users have posted screen shots from Asus customer service emails stating that there is no known release date for the bios patch… is it ever going to be released? 

They said sometimes this month. I sure hope so. 

Thanks for sharing! Wish it was sooner. I was told end of Jan before but could be worse 

Has there been a determination on when the bios will be updated for the model mentioned in this post? 

I was told that Info in a chat with Asus customer service
