The Chromebook is still being used for basic browsing and Netflix. Yesterday I had my first mishap with the device. The battery was running low so I fumbled around in the dark looking for the power port and accidentally moved a developer switch. I didn't know such a switch existed on the Chromebook so I was surprised the following day to see my Chromebook fail to boot. It took a long time to find the switch because the icon near it looks like the place where you plug in a lock. For fun, I had other people look for the switch as well. None could find it so far.
