My NEW Macbook Pro is motion sensitive!

If I pivot my laptop the screen goes off and it sleeps. If I gently shake the laptop it comes back on, until I move it again! Holy Cow!!

I got it this month!....

Once it goes off I cant get it back on again unless I move it around! Yikes.

The phenomenon occurred during a day and a half. It was hard to replicate consistently, that I didn't go in right away. Instead, I made sure to turn it off at night, instead of sleeping...which cycled me through a couple restarts. As freaked out as I was, the phenomenon has not returned and I quickly resumed my normal usage habits without incident.

Maybe complex software/hardware packages require a "break in" period?

Woulda been fun to throw it at the Genius Bar though
