Unexpected fall of MacBook

My laptop just got dropped from 30-40 cm distance but on floor. Can anyone tell me whether it will be having issues or not? I am so panicked about it.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.1

Turn the MacBook on. If everything works, then it doesn't have any issues.


On the physical side of things, check for bumps to the shell or cracked screen. You can still use it just fine with some dings to the body. You can even use a cracked screen sometimes, but it's annoying. I ran an HDMi cable to an external monitor to a MacBook with a screen issue, once before.


If you haven't noticed anything, you should be fine. Get a case for it to be safe.
