Uneven lid closure and difficulty opening my new MacBook Air

“Hi, I recently bought this MacBook m4 air, and when I close the lid and hold it vertically, the lid opens slightly on one side — just a small movement, like it’s not equally held by magnets. But when it’s on a flat surface, there’s no visible gap.”




“Also, I noticed that I can’t open it with one finger — the base lifts off the table. I’ve seen other new MacBooks (even in unboxing videos) open easily with one hand, so I just want to make sure my hinge is normal and not overly tight or imbalanced.”
