New MacBook Pro users head to Apple's support communites to complain of issues

While Apple’s new Intel Haswell-powered Macbook Pro series was launched just last week, disgruntled users are already turning to the Support Communities forum to talk about a host of issues. The problems, from what can be seen as of now, revolve around three faults: an unresponsive system freeze, keyboard issues including unresponsive shortcut keys and an unusable trackpad.

MacBook Pro users are turning to Apple's communities to complain

And these are just a few of the complaints that can be seen from users who are experiencing the same problem. From what's known, the problems seem temporary and last for 10 or 15 minutes before becoming stable again. Users have also said that while the laptop is unresponsive, the power button still works so every time the problem surfaces, restarting the machines seems to be one way to fix the issue. That being said, manually restarting your machine every time it hangs is obviously a tedious affair and it seems like there has not been any solution given by Apple yet.
