It is a good deal, but I purposely didn’t opt for 96w upgrade because I’m not so into fast charging whether for MacBook or iPhone. I’m an old-school believer that normal charging is healthier for battery longevity as it produces less heat 😊

My 14inch doesn’t have this.
But what i can think of is that the only thing having contact when closed is the rubber lining.. so the stickiness might come from that rubber? The rubber shouldn’t deteriorate so fast though..

Another theory, you’re living in a place with changes in atmospheric pressure. Causing some form of vacuum when lid is closed, then pressure change at night. In the morning when open, can feel the resistance.

The 16 inch won’t feel so much compared to 14 because it has a bigger space (less susceptible to the pressure change). Haha , theory.

bro I got this issue also at first for the first month. but after that no more...
I always open and close the lid by the top middle point of the screen.

I called up one of apple authorised centre.

The person who attended me told me it is normal that the hinge slightly tight / some creaking noise. I guess the hinge is still new.

I didn't believe at first but after a few weeks yes the hinge mmg looser a bit... but the service advisor also told that time if I still want to bring to the service centre also can, they will adjust the hinge , leave the laptop for 2 weeks.

Now I can open the lid with just one finger without any gap.

Hmmm isn’t it bad news that the hinge got loosen? I can’t open the lid with 1 finger coz it’s rather tight..

a bit of looseness is good for me. The lid didn't loose until can wobble.

haha maybe you try yours for a few weeks, normally can open with one finger lift up.

my friend M1 Air also same, one finger can lift. used for 3 months.

2 months of usage so far - this machine is so quiet and cool, app opens almost instantly.
