Hi everyone. I’ve recently bought a new M1 Macbook Air, and I am facing a slight issue. Whenever I carried the laptop with one hand from the hinge side, I hear a slight crinkling noise. I am not sure if it is the screws, the components slightly flexing or it is due to some kind of adhesive. I have attached an image to where when force is applied the sound is heard. Does anyone know the reason behind this? People with an M1 MacBook Air can try this for themselves and see if they can hear it. Thank you.
