alt Hacker NewsAt least the M1~2 series Macbooks scratched the screen with the keyboard. Mines did, and asking second hand resailers it was a very common issue.
Rigidity is only for the main body, not the screen part.

I've been looking for a replacement laptop and this issue is making me look away from any future Macbooks.
Does anyone have experience if the issue been resolved in more recent designs, or is this something Apple users are now expected to live with?

Using a thin microfibre cloth between keyboard and screen prevents this.

FWIW, I’ve been toting around the 16” M-series models since they launched and recently picked up a 13” Air and have yet to see this occur. Haven’t heard reports of it from coworkers or friends either. Not saying it doesn’t happen, but I suspect there’s a particular action or pattern of behavior that makes it more likely, such as placing it under heavy objects or packing it in tightly with books or something like that.
