Display light leak on M1 Macbook Air

I recently got the delivery of my M1 Macbook Air. Today I noticed there is a slight light leaking from the edge of the display, I don't know if it's supposed to be there or not. Should I get it checked and will it be covered under warranty?

Is there typically a warp on the top right of the 14" MBP M1x screen? Since I've bought my 2021 Macbook Pro M1x, I've noticed that in reflections the upper right of the display warps the light. There is also a bit of backlighting that escapes through two spots in the far top of the right side of the screen. After paying closer attention to this, I notice that when closed there is a larger gap on the right hand side. The Macbook has not been dropped or sustained any injury, and I've seen this since it was brand new I just figured it was typical of the design. The noticing the backlight bleed and case deformation however seems to be unacceptable. Thanks for any input!

Hole visible in MacBook Pro 2020 when screen is off Hi, My brand new MacBook Pro 13 inch 2020 has a hole showing behind the screen (most visible when angled towards light). I’m going to return it but does anyone know what causes this, just in case it happens again with future MacBook Pros?

Dead Pixel Issue on MacBook Air M1 I purchased my M1 Macbook Air on Dec 1st, 2020 directly from the Apple website and I just noticed a dead pixel on the middle of the screen. I just want to make sure of I can have it repaired/replaced under the 1 year Apple Service and Support coverage (ends of Dec 1st, 2021) that I received with the purchase of my MacBook. What should I do now? :( Here's a picture of the dead pixel on my screen. It is also visible under any color background.

If you feel it is a defect, return to seller for exchange before the return/exchange period runs out.
