MacbookPro m1 unibody black pitting, is it normal?

Greetings. I don't wear watches, cufflinks, etc. My laptop only stands at home and I live alone, no one can ruin it. I noticed that black dots began to appear, as if aluminum oxidation. This is my professional tool, I would like it to be not only beautiful, but also practical.


Is it normal ???

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.2

I called and showed them photos and videos. My request was sent to engineers, they said that this was an obvious mechanical damage, but I take very careful care of my devices, and I live alone, this is impossible. On the forums I saw people with the same problems, why doesn't anyone believe me? it is oxidation, or poor coverage

My personal opinion—It would seem to me it could easily be manufacturing defect—poor application in the finishing process.


Is it affecting your performance?


In the USA anyway you have 14 days to return for a full refund or exchange for one that suits you better.


good luck !
