Agreed about build quality. Our small office ordered a couple models in 2014-ish, to evaluate them.
Lifted the LCD to find it had some much flex, it felt like tagboard. Plastic housings were incredibly flimsy feeling. Those 10" netbooks that were popular for a while never felt as cheap.
We kept them as emergency backups and used one as a server, tucked in the server closet for a bit, but otherwise stuck with Dell.
Who knows, maybe the aluminum one will remove those problems.
