    Apologies if there's threads on this somewhere already.

    So I just bought a new Macbook Air 13" on Thursday and love it. However, I've had one problem - about 30% of the time, after my display goes to sleep I'll hit a key or whatever to wake it and the computer will wake but the screen will remain black and flash. All I can do is close and reopen the laptop, turn it off and back on, or wait for the display to go back to sleep and then re-wake it.

    Will probably take it to the Genius bar but just thought I'd check if anyone had any quick fixes or if this is a common problem or whatever.

    Never heard of it, might want to swing by an Apple Store if one is close and show them.
