Yeah, its less the durability, and more the long standing security issues:

  • Firmware flaws they didn't always patch
  • many vulnerabilities that were known
  • bundled apps that included known vulnerabilities
  • Installing software on first boot from hardware (discontinued)
  • Superfish injected ad traffic which allowed mitm attacks
  • hardware level backdoors

So most of these things get alleviated since I always wipe new computers and put Linux on them anyways. But the repeated poor decision, security, and anti consumer practices concerns me.
