MacBook Air M2 2023 Hinge issue

Bought a new MacBook Air M2 15inch. What I can observe is the hinge is quite tight and unable to open the laptop with one hand.

Is some else facing similar issue ? what can we do to resolve this ?

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 13.5

Search this forum and you'll find several posts exactly like yours.


Apple has stated to give it time to loosen up. Until then, you'll need to use two hands. I suppose that's a bother to some, but it's also not a situation this community can deal with as it's a physical anomaly and we don't deal with that.


Nothing has failed and Apple doesn't do preventive or anticipatory repairs. There's nothing to repair.
