I purchased this Chromebook on Jan. 15, 2021. I usually don't buy insurance or warranty for the electronics I buy. So it became dead today, July 15, 2021. So its lifespan is exactly 6 months, or shorter considering the fact that it took two or three days to ship it to me.Battery life is good and screen quality is good, and I have never used the touch screen and didn't even know whether it existed. But they are meaningless when the machine is dead and won't start.I will never buy such cheap stuffs again.
