MacBook M1 2020 overheating issue (alien.top)

Hi, I use a 2020 MacBook air M1.

After one hour in a video call (Microsoft Teams) I get overheating issues. I use my MacBook with one external Screen and use notes while video calls.

Is this normal or should I change something to fix this?

My M1 chip pro was 11 months old and just wouldn’t turn on one morning. It would get loud and run hot. I took it to Geek Squad who said new parts were needed, but it was still under warranty. Yesterday I opened it and found lines going across the screen even though it hasn’t been dropped and I use a hard shell case. I’m thinking I got a lemon. I am so disappointed.

Hard cases can put undue stress on the screen and cause damage over time.

Thank you for sharing.I’m sorry I didn’t know that. I bought it when I got the laptop. I wish the sales associate had said something.
