Well if it’s anything like their previous models then it probably feels like it’s a toy. I remembered playing with a display model when I was thinking of buy it and was amazing by how flimsy it was.

On paper they seem like good laptops. But in practice?

    I don't think your personal anecdote is grounded in any meaningful reality. Laptop tech has been mostly solved for better part of a decade now and even cheap aliexpress laptops are built well enough to hold for years.

    "built well enough to hold for years" is the bare minimum in laptop build quality. sure, lots of crappy flimsy laptops will last "years" but they are still crappy flimsy laptops.

    also tons has changed in laptops over the last decade, particularly in efficiency.

    Exactly. I have tons of cheap (when new) laptops that still work perfectly. But that's because I baby them. If I treated them like how I treat my ThinkPads or MacBooks they'd have been broken in a year or two. Plus who actually wants to type on a laptop that's flexing more than the keys are moving?
