10. I will have very little on the cloud.

I had a Mac Mini years ago that crashed and burned within weeks of its warranty expiring and ironically, just like this time, my Windows computer died the same week.
The reality is that I don't do much of anything more than surf the web anyhow. In the month I've had the Chromebook I haven't even downloaded any apps.

On the unmountable boot volume problem, my laptops seemed to be ok if I did not shut them down at night. It was when I powered up the next morning that I would experience problems.
It's still a bugger to me why both crashed and burned so closely together.
