Then all you can do is take it in and see what they can do— maybe it is simple tightening a few screws.

If you are not satisfied, keep in mind you have a limited 14-days to return for a full refund or exchange for one that you approve.

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

I was going to recommend you a couple of things. Go to the Apple store and simply check out their machine. At the same time bring your machine with you so just in case yours is actually defective you can exchange it at that time. Your original post said you "just received" your MacBook Pro but then a few posts later you stated you're past the return period. So why say you just received it? That's why the member earlier recommend to return it.

Return it. Get another one.
