We've had this chromebook for less than a year and it has major mechanical issues. The screen will only display an image when it is tilted to just the right angle, if it is bumped or moved in the slightest way the screen will go blank. This is very frustrating and started happening less than six months after purchase. There are also problems with audio input for head phones where every once in a while there will be no audio and you have to reset the device in order to get any audio back on.
