MacBook Pro difficult to open

[delsoul]

I have a MacBook Pro and when I don’t use it for a few days, it seems like it’s incredibly difficult to lift the lid. It’s like it’s sealed so well that the whole laptop moves when trying to open it. After it finally opens up, it opens very easily. Does this happen to anyone else?

Mine is brand new and it feels like that sometimes. I thought it was just me. I learned to live with it.

This does seem to be a problem for me as well. Even my old 2012 MacBook Pro has this issue, the only mitigating factor there is that the lip is recessed further allowing more space to get a grip on the rubber gasket and open the lid. Sometimes if I haven't used it for a while, I have to hold it like a book and 'snap' it open a bit. I think it may be that the rubber slightly sticks to the case, in part.
