They are better than they were 10-15 years ago, you can get a good screen, sober design and good amount of performance out of them, they are still limited by form factor, cooling and power draw so you're not gonna get desktop equivalent performance unless you drop $5,000+ on one. They have a bad rep because people don't take care of them, but if you get one from a reputable manufacturer, undervolt, regularly clean it and change thermal compound when needed, keep it elevated when gaming for air to circulate underneath there is no reason for it to fail prematurely.
