I agree with what you're saying but feel the issue is more durability than build quality. Apple's MacBook Pro has very good build quality but that doesn't mean it isn't fragile. The screen and trackpad are glass for example so going to be far more brittle than most plastic options. That isn't a build quality issue though, at least not to how I define build quality which is fit and finish and excellent quality assurance. I've had expensive Dell, Lenovo and HP laptops with "Premium" displays that arrive with stuck pixels. Hinges not properly aligned. Squeaky keyboards and trackpads. Speakers that pop, etc. That is poor build quality and crap QC. The Mac's have near perfect build and QC but they sure are less durable than many other laptops.
