Macbook air m2 13" physical strength - eviltoast

I have ordered a Macbook Air M2 13" 8gb 512gb silver, and also ordered a Under Armour backpack for it. But I’m conserned that the laptop will break easily in the backpack. So my question is how strong is the macbook air m2 in physical strength? Will it break or bend easily or screen break easily in a padded laptop sleeve backpack, that is not a hard case laptop backpack? The backpack arrived to day, but macbook doesnt arrive until thursday next week, I come from big bulky windows gaming laptops, thats why the perhaps stupid questions.

Bonus question for you. Have you used apples privacy screen and is it good? Can you keep it on when you close the macbook or do you have tp take it off?

    It’ll be far more prtected in a backpack than having a risk of dropping so there’s one way to look at it. Most damage when in backpacks are when it’s in there too tight in between books and such or when a backpack gets casually dropped to the ground or tossed into the corner when you plop it down after lugging it around so you’ll just want to make sure t’s in it’s own sleeve or pocket when in the back pack and no pressure put on it by books and such and don’t forget it’s in there when tossing backpack down. I put my M1 14" in a zippered and padded case and then slide that into the dedicated laptop/tablet etc. pocket of the backpack if it has one, most do… and at the bottom of that pocket I put in a folded piece of this compressed presentation board that’s I cut and folded and taped with black gorilla tape making a 5" tall hollo square reinforcing pocket type of thing… it keeps things from squishing the pocket if that makes sense so it fits in there kinda loose and it’s harder for books and such to compress against it. Might be overkill but I LOVE my 14" protected as I spent 2300.00 on it plus applecare and tax when it first released.
