Both sides are same, little gap and when pressing there is cracking sound. You can jsut take you MBA and it is able to hear it.

Somebody the same issue? Or something wrong with M3 Air?

Thanks

Just to humor another 'my-whatever-it-is-doesn't-feel-right' post: My 15-inch M3 Air does of course have the same apparent gap - though it isn't a gap because there's a small rubber(?) seal 1mm offset inside it all around the screen - but it doesn't make any cracking sound when pressed on the edges on either side.

Given there is the rubber(?) seal there to absorb any pressure, a sound like that would have to be more structural I'd think - potentially the screen panel itself flexing or moving.
