you sure it’s microcscratches? Even the finest no lint claiming cloths, leave lint.
Also got my first ding at the edge if the lid, it just happens. I rarely clean my devices with microfiber cloths because the smallest particles can scratch them. Before cleaning it spray the dust of with canned air and use a fresh high quality microfiber cloth.
No it's not.

Ya could be. either way the screen it getting micro scratches.
Still nobody is answering my questions.
I have a 2015 MBP that I use regularly (both at home and travel). I clean it weekly with a microfiber cloth and a spray or two of water on it as well. Can't say I have any scratches on my screen at all. You mentioned rubbing your nail against your screen. Sounds like that might be the harshest thing happening to it.
Lol ya i know right. I just did it lightly though so it's ok. Not gonna make a habit of it. The scratch can only be seen in the right light. Do you know if the MBA 2020 is gorilla glass ?
Thanks.

Oh ok. Hard to tell if it's in the glass or coating. Having them on just the coating wouldn't make it any better though lol.
Do you have a picture?
It seems no one is getting their screen scratched neither should be scratched with normal cleaning.
If it's really bothering I would consider calling apple and asking for a replacement... It's free and no questions asked the first 14days

I've never had micro-scratches on a MacBook screen going all the way back to 2011.
Then again, I
I haven't cleaned my 2020 air screen yet because it has no marks on it yet.
Then again, I
- try not to touch it, at all
- am very gentle with swiping dust specs out of the way if required with the back of my hand to avoid fingerprints
- as a result, do not spend a lot of time cleaning my screen because it generally doesn't get dirty.

Hey ya i was thinking about that i was just worried that it might have been my wrong doing. Every time i clean my phone or laptop with a microfiber cloth i make sure to shake it out first so its free of any harder particles.
Might go down to Bestbuy tomorrow and try and exchange it. Thanks.

Don't feel guilty about something that should not happen. It probably was there to begin with and you just did not notice. Ive cleaned my devices hundreds of times and have not noticed any scratches except 2 year old iPads and iPhones. Never a 2 year old laptop. The other devices are touch and more extreme conditions.
