Unless there is a problem with the current BIOS or there is a new feature you strongly want., there is no need to update. If you do hold off updating right now, familiarize yourself with what the update provides in case you encounter problems in the future. It may be an issue with external hardware which you currently do not own. Updating the BIOS or any firmware is very similar from the user's viewpoint from a standard install and usually just as easy. However, BIOS and firmware updates are always more risky. There is a chance the computer or device can become a paperweight if it fails or the power goes out at the wrong time! It is normally safe. Do not update while doing something else at the same time, close all other windows, and not during a thunderstorm.
