I think it's very informative, and over time we'll see if this is representative of the normal world. Maybe temperature changes are not that important, maybe they are.

At the same time, they have Chrome OS. Most of those laptops have an SSD. All are connected to the cloud. How do they perform? When they have a problem, is it recorded by Google? I'm not 100% clear if I would want that, but it doesn't seem such a bad idea for a computer that is already 100% in the cloud.

The Chrome OS number would be less useful. A hard drive failure that totally destroys the ability to report the result back to Google is indistinguishable from a device that simply never turned on again, which over the course of years, I'd expect to dominate major drive failures.
