Protecting M1 Macbook Air?

[FSMBP]

Hi All -

About to get an M1 Air - how sturdy is the Air?

Also, does anyone have any recommendations for 'waterproof' keyboard covers? Not planning to spill anything but ya know...

It is sturdy enough to do what it's designed to do, tho if you need to use it in the shower I would recommend a waterproof cover.

A simple silicone keyboard cover will do a great job. If you want further protection, you can tape it down on four sides.

I tell the college students after I replace their screens, LCD covers, etc after they are broken from dropping a loaded backpack after class: Get a neoprene sleeve, side loading, and leave the sleeve in your backpack in the laptop storage pocket at all times. For added protection, get a tube sock or a pool noodle and cut in half lengthwise and put either in the bottom of the laptop storage pocket and put the neoprene sleeve on top of it.

It took me four months of heavy ebay searching to find my current laptop. Couldn't believe how many laptops were being sold with dented top and base corners at the hinges. The aluminum cases of Airs and Pros can be dented, in other words.

Why You Really Shouldn’t Use a Keyboard Cover on Your MacBook

Your MacBook needs more protecting than just your keyboard.
