Bought new MacBook Air with the M2 chip in November 2022 and recently noticed that the bottom cover of the laptop is bent. Why is that?
I provide a picture of the laptop.
In the marked area in the photo, the size of the gap is 1mm larger than in the middle.

You are correct. I've attempted to purchase multiple 13 and 15 inch models and every single one has a bent back panel. I've purchased every version of the MBA since the original and this is the first iteration with noticeable flaws in manufacturing. It's gotten to the point where I'm avoiding this design all together because of this. You are not alone as others have reported the same. Pretty unreal to think this is where we are with manufacturing.

It's difficult to determine anything from the picture. It looks ok to me, but only Apple's opinion will matter. Contact them.
