The new MBP Screen closes by itself when the base is inclined: basically, when you are lying in bed watching a movie, with your laps raised (generally, the most comfortable position to watch a good movie from;))
Now, i find that annoying, and apple should try to make the "bolts" harder so that the screen sticks in its position.
Even more annoying: this does not happen on the MB or on the MB-Air, because screens are lighter (while, I :rolleyes: suspect, the used "bolts" are exactly the same)

Glass is heavy. This is the best built hinge to date imo
