How strong is the Macbook Pro 16 Screen? In regards to pressing air bubbles off screen protector

Hey all!


My first post here!


Just grabbed myself a new macbook pro 16, got myself a laptop cover as well as a screen protector.


Now I want to ask how strong is the screen itself? I ask this because once I had applied my screen protector onto the laptop, it wasnt easy pushing the air bubbles away..I wouldnt say I pressed on the screen very hard but still quite hard for how sensitive a screen is as the reasonable man would think.


Hope to hear some promising news..


Kind regards,


P

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

PS: If the display was not cleaned before applying 'unnecessary

protective' cover, it may have dusty debris trapped between.


The display panel should be properly cleaned. ~ Commercially

available products may suffice -- or may contribute damages to

the display; do not let macbook get damp or wet. Use cloth.

Should you persist and choose to keep the 'screen protector' in place, though it may in

itself cause damages to the display and also press the keys down partially all the time..


..My suggestion would be to remove the protector and then clean the display carefully &

properly, with recommended cleaning agent (apply sparingly, only to clean & dry cloth.)


This really would not help the actual issues using a screen protector would likely cause.

Limited space between keys and screen, could cause damages to both; in the course of

simply moving the MacBook Pro, or leaving it sit. Also do not set anything on closed display.

{..People carry stuff in their arms, stacked; such as books, etc; & avoid this damaging habit..}


Any mistreatment of your portable Mac ~ which may be cause of damages or loss of use,

could be a question to ask; if question comes up at Apple authorized service at later time.


Good luck & happy trails!🌞🎣
