Macbook Pro M1 Hinge Creaking I've bought a Macbook Pro M1. At first I have researched about the tight hinge on my macbook and it looks like it's not a problem at least in a matter of functionality, the lid cannot be open with one hand. Then a couple days I noticed something weird if my macbook open and the lid is staying in the same position for a while, then when I want to close it, the hinge make some creaking/popping noise and the hinge is really tight. But if I open and close it immediately the problem isn't showing. Is this a concern? Because i'm afraid that this will affect the screen in a long term use. Should I check it to the Apple Authorized Service?

Stiff hinges per Apple will loosen with use. It's not a problem until something fails to work as expected and apparently Apple is well aware of the stiffer hinges.
