Macbook Air M1 loose hinge out of the box

My Macbook Air is just 2 days old. But the lid sometimes doesn't close completely even after applying slight pressure leaving a gap of around 10°. Also, when the lid is closed and the Macbook is tilted upwards, the lid opens up to around 10°. Also, I cannot lift the lid with one hand.


Can some confirm if this is by design or a defect? This is my first Mac ever.



MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.5

You have an issue. Return to store for repair or exchange(you have 14 days). My lid closes and is very firm when trying to open.
