Potential internal damage after MacBook Air M2 drop

I dropped my 4 month old Macbook Air M2 onto the wooden floor by accident.


I turned it on and it still works perfectly and doesn't seem to have any damage on the screen and case.

I also did a diagnostic test and it said there were no issues to be found with my MacBook Air. None the less, I'm still worried since this is my first Macbook and wondering if this drop will affect this device in the long run or maybe cause damage that I didn't know about, especially with software/internal components.


Just an additional question, are is the MacBook Air M2 sturdy/durable in general? Apologies, just my anxiousness getting the better than me.

What may happen tomorrow is out of your control.

Use the computer until it misbehaves.

If/when that happens you can make a Genius Bar appointment for hardware evaluation and service using this link: Contact Apple for support and service - Apple Support


If you take care of it, the MacBook Air may last 6-10 years, with only a battery replacement.,
