Hello Everyone!
My question is about my new MacBook Air M1 2020 (I've had it for maybe 2 months).
As I was simply reading an article, it shut down to the screen you see in the photo, and then powered back on as if nothing was wrong. Is there something I should be concerned about? Should I take it in to Apple?
Thanks for your thoughts!
MacBook Air (2020 or later)

As matter of basic troubleshooting could be useful to try Safe mode to see
if anything happens; not just now, but an occasional practice (on restart.)

Perhaps a diagnostic could be run, however that may come later.
[The M1 Apple Silicon uses different means to run former routines
common to Intel-mac; this gets sketchy where 2+ methods exist.]
A variety of apps can be run with macOS Recovery in M1 Macs.
