It's glad to know the new bios solved problems for all (although I think my key-missing problems were solved in 1.29 patch).

I have never encountered any freezing problem. I notice someone said it might be the problem of activating discrete graphics card (which will cause the system to hang for 0.5 seconds or something), whenever you do some actions (such as right click -> display settings, battery icon, chrome and firefox tabs, PowerPoint slideshow etc).

I am not sure why this isn't happening for my laptop, my discrete graphics will generally be in disabled mode, the integrated graphics card works perfectly, unless some applications such as games are on.

I also disabled turbo boost (I forgot why I did it, I just remember I followed from someone else's post. Was it possible that turbo boost might be related to periodic freezing?)

I disabled turbo boost by setting both minimum processor state and maximum processor state to 99% in "Plugged in" mode. I am not sure whether this will help the periodic hang too.

I actually also set the minimum processor state to 5% and maximum processor state to 80% in battery mode, which will greatly increase the battery life time.

I roughly tested, after setting this maximum processor state and turning display brightness to one level above the dimmest level, my x1e (4k display but no touch screen) will last as long as 7 hours when just doing some text editing and occasional surfing.
