Just wanted to let you all know that I got a new BIOS (0601) through ASUS LiveUpdate yesterday, and then a new Intel Graphics driver appeared in Windows Update as an optional update. I don't know if these fix anything, but they can't hurt, right?
I have also received the updates, the new graphics driver is .1177 up from .1168 and I haven't has any of the issues like a pause before wakeup or unable to wake from sleep.
