Bright white spot on MacBook Air screen.

Hi all! I bought a MacBook Air 15" m4 and when I first connected it to the network, I noticed a strange small bright white spot in the center of the screen. It is clearly visible at an angle and on certain colors. The laptop is brand new, I haven't had time to charge it once and haven't even used it. Could this be a manufacturing defect?

If you bought directly from Apple, either from the Apple Online Store or a walk-in Apple retail store, you have a 14- day "no questions asked" return option. If there is a defect and your wait beyond the grace period, they have the option of sending it for repair instead of replacing it.
