Sorry for the delay but I couldn't get onto this site yesterday (maintenance message).
I have the Macbook Pro, 15in, 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 (Oct 11). It came loaded with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
It has been freezing up at times and I can't do anything at all except switch it off and restart. It's erratic so I can't pinpoint what is causing it. The first problem started within a couple of weeks of owning it when I was checking my emails and it froze up with the fan going crazy and the laptop feeling very hot. This particular problem hasn't happened again (fan/heat) but the freezing happens from time to time and is very annoying particularly as I haven't loaded anything onto it yet except a few photos and some music to itunes.
I don't have any anti virus installed and am very careful about downloading anything from the internet and always delete suspicious emails without opening them. I don't play games and only use my laptops for pictures, music, email, internet and office applications although I haven't yet installed my copy of iwork to this new Macbook as I wanted to see how it performed before I added too much especially after the first issue when it was just a few weeks old.
I have contacted the Apple store where it was purchased and can take it in to be checked but I just wondered if anyone else had experienced these issues with this new model.
Thank you to everyone who has responded to my question.
