M4 MacBook Air Lid Feels Harder to Open with One Hand – Normal?

Hi everyone,


I just got the new MacBook Air M4, and I noticed it’s harder to open the lid with one hand compared to my old M2 MacBook Air. The base lifts a little unless I hold it down.


Has anyone else noticed this?


  • Is this normal for the M4 model?
  • Does it get easier over time?
  • Should I take it to Apple to check?


Thanks for your help

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.5
