I am going to be buying the apex and now that this quirk with the keyboard is an issue, what do you guys recommend, should I buy it now or wait a couple of months? Or should I just go ahead and buy it anyways and keep the problem and its work around in mind.

Try to identify a pattern, such as what you were doing just before the freeze: the program you were in; whether you were on AC power or battery; and so on; 2. Send a report to [email protected] Tech support is working on the freeze problems but is looking for more reports to try to identify patterns and reproducible situations. This is what they tell me.
