It started with minor annoyances like the touchpad looking greasy at the center after a few days (cleaning didn't make a difference). After a few months, the touch screen didn't work anymore. I tried different OS and after a while, I contacted the support. I had a call for about an hour during which they updated the BIOS, but it didn't help. So they sent a technician, who found out, that the Touchscreen didn't work, but had no replacement at hand. So a few days later another technician came and replaced the display. I didn't use the laptop very often at that time, but after a while, I noticed that the display flickered sometimes now, I tried to track down the root of the issue but to this day I don't know what causes it (at least it doesn't seem to be an OS issue). However, by the time I found out that the flickering was not related to the OS, the warranty period was over.
In addition, to the screen issues, the touchpad is just not good. In the beginning, it was okay, after a while you couldn't press it properly anymore (didn't came back up). Some time later, the opposite effect was present: the touchpad popped out about 1mm and you can't press it again.
However, those are just the aspects in which I would categorize the issue as low build quality. For example, other aspects are, that I like the keyboard layout very much and learned that I hate glare-type displays even more than I thought I would.
