8. The old ones had the idiot button. A very functional feature.

The newish ones use a swiping motion to clear open apps. Anyone with disability will have a difficult time with this. My sister had limited use of her hands so I would put a sock on her hand with a hole for her finger. Her hand could rest on the screen without interfering with the process. She was able to use the button to easily clear open apps. The annoying slip to the corner would never have been possible for her.

The port where the plug is inserted is still weak point. I recommend getting the extended warranty because in my opinion it is designed to fail. I have had to replace my machine several times. Now I use screen imaging as much as possible to avoid stressing the port.
