macbook condensation

I have recently purchased a MacBook Air M2. After a week of using the machine, I have noticed when I use it on my lap or in a bed on the duvet, the bottom of the MacBook feels slightly wet/moist. At first I worried incase I place it on something wet but this is definitely not the case. From googling the issue, other MacBook m1/m2 users are experiencing the same thing. Some believe it may be condensation from the very cold MacBook being placed on a warm lap/blanket. Either way, this seems odd and I am concerned this may end up casing damage?

Condensation:

What is states is fact. And, based off of personal experience, note that if you were to use a keyboard cover, that doing do can cause condensation of occur. I've been through it firsthand. So, use MacBook Air on a laptop cooler, and all would be just fine. Using it on a quilt, it is expected to heat up.
