macbook screen scratch

Hi!

I feel like im super protective of my 2021 14 inch macbook screen. I never touch it and when i close it i make sure that i don't have stuff on my keyboard that could potentially damage the screen. However i still have what it seems like some specs of dust/mini blemishes on my screen.

It seems like this is quite extreme since i never have had this before.

Should i use some type of screen protector to prevent this from getting worse?

I have to say i'm very disappointed with the quality of such an expensive computer...

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.3

Don't use a screen protector or keyboard cover- it could crack the screen because it fills the space between the keys and screen when closed.

As for the dust, you can use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe smudges away. If they persist, you can use a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution. Never spray liquid directly onto the screen!
