Retina MacBook Pro - Logging Out

My Retina MacBook Pro is automatically logging me out while I am in the middle of using it!

For the past 4 days, I'll just be sitting here at my desk, browsing the web, or working on an e-mail, and the next thing I know, I am being logged out and presented with my standard login screen.

I've seen 1 or 2 reports of this, and am wondering if a replacement is in order. ?

Specs and Details

Retina MacBook Pro - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 (been using it for 2 weeks)

RAM Upgraded to 16GB

256GB Hard Drive

Connected to a brand new Apple Thunderbolt Display.

OS X Lion 10.7.4 with ALL updates installed.

I am facing exactly the same problem.

Could it be the automatic graphics switching that cause this problem?

Hope someone could answer this question.

Hi, I experienced exactly the same when first using the new rMBP

It seems that there is an issue with Lion that causing intermittent problems when switching between integrated and discreet graphic cards.

You have 2 options:

1. Upgrade to Mountain Lion - the problem is gone in ML thats for sure (and of course its designed for this beautiful new machine)

2. If you still want to wait for a while, download gfxCardStatus and you decide whether to switch or stay just on discrete or integrated...this app works just fine too

I was using option 2 to manage the issue, before upgrading....either solution worked for me.

Good luck

Thanks Rob! I was really hoping to wait on upgrading until 10.8.3 or so, so I may check out gfxCardStatus.
