Are the screen more sturdy than on the MacBook Air M1? I really didn't like my M1 dying overnight after 13 months, when the base warranty had just expired and apple asked me 67% (!) of the price of what I paid the M1 to fix the screen. I didn't and I use it as a desktop since then, hooked to an external monitor.

For comparison, my LG Gram can be casually thrown down concrete stairs [1] and shall happily keep working.

I'm not asking for something as incredible as that LG Gram's screen (from a reliability point of view) but I'd like to know if these newer MacBook laptops have screens less fragile than the first M1 laptops.

[1] Not my vid but it's my experience with that laptop. Cat can jump on it, previous owner did step on it while waking up: do that to a Mac M1 laptop and it dies instantly. But my "MILSPEC" LG Gram: you cannot really damage that laptop (look at 35 seconds):
