They used to be. From what I can tell from personal experience they have fixed a lot of their QC problems. I suspect they had a push to capture market share by simply being cheapest with disregard for quality in the late 2000s/early 2010s. The build quality in their laptops from back then were atrocious. Nowadays it seems to be on par with other manufacturers.
