I have my M5 Air for 1 month now and the last time I was cleaning the display I noticed this line in the top right corner. It is on the very edge of the display right next to the rubber lip. It is smooth to the touch seems like some coating imperfection. Does anyone have something similar on their Mac and is it normal?
Got a tip for us?

yeah, I have a dilemma if it is worth it taking it to apple for inspection. I will probably end up doing so and will see what they will do about it. Hopefully it will be covered

i would, it would bug the crap out of me, plus if its an issue with the coating, it has the potential to get worse over time
Just to throw this out there, what are you using to clean the display? Nothing like alcohol I assume?

I manage our fleet and I've seen a few like that since the M1 MBA days. Cosmetic issue, nothing to worry about.
Microfibre cloth only, i do not use any cleaning solutions exactly because of stuff like this.
To me it looks like there is a little bit of paint or coating missing on the edge of the bezel. I highly doubt that this is going to cause issues in the future. Personally, I would ignore it.
