Hello everyone, I'm considering the Lemur Pro for its combination of lightweight design and long battery life workstation. However, I'm a bit concerned about its build quality. I've come across some posts from 1-2 years ago suggesting that the build quality might not be the best. Have there been any improvements or updates in this area or still the same?

I have got the newest Lemur 12 and have had it since launch. If you mean by "build quality" durability, and sturdiness it isn't bad. I have actually dropped it (wouldn't suggest) and still works. Hinge works looks and feels sturdy. Keyboard is acceptable. If you mean does it feel luxurious and look fashionable. Nope. I am pretty rough on my laptops (using on planes, on the couch and in bed) and am hoping it last two years.

As a lemp9 owner who has had that hinge replaced, it’s not as sturdy as you think.
