1 CPSC recall(s) found | 3 change(s): 2 major, 1 moderate | Durability score lowered due to sealed/disposable design, keyboard issues reported in 2016-2019 models, and characterization as 'dumpster fire' by some users. Material quality moderate due to trackpad issues and reported reliability problems. Brand reputation remains relatively strong but damaged by 2016 design decisions and reliability issues with this generation.
