I have a new Core i5 Macbook Pro and the magnetic latch is very strong. It almost seems abnormally strong. I can literally lift up the entire notebook a few inches off the ground before the screen finally comes up. I had a few people check it out and they said that their Macbook Pro hinge was not nearly as strong as mine.
Does anyone else have a really strong latch? It makes it difficult to get the screen open. Is there anything I can do about it?

Well it could be that it is new. Maybe once it wears in, it will loosen up?
If you find it unbearable and since your laptop is BRAND NEW...you can always go get it swapped. -
You might want to check that cus I wouldn't want my shiny new macbook bangin against the ground every time I opened it. Thats why they make the latches loose so you can open it with out the bottom coming up.

On my new mbp it is very strong as well, I have no doubt it will loosen up with more time. Like most people i prefer it tighter then looser....

I noticed this too. I had to hold down the bottom of the slot while pulling up with my other hand. It may be because the hinge is tight and that this is providing excess friction. I'm just hoping that it loosens up over time.
