I've been looking forward to the Google Chrome pc release for months. Everything I've researched about it looks very promising. I've got 4 new laptops and a desktop and 2 Iphones so I don't need another pc right now but I want a Chrome so much I may buy one anyway.

Any suggestions on which ChromeBook to purchase?

Is anyone having any problems with their ChromeBooks?

Can you transfer the hard drive info into the chromebook? When my last pc died I had a pc store copy my old hard drive to disks so I could get to my pics and videos and load what I wanted onto my new pc's. How would you transfer your info from your existing pc to the chromebook if it does not have a disk drive?

Unrelated topic... When the pc store transferred my old hard drive via disk I wasn't able to find all of my pics and vids from my old pc. These pics and videos were VERY VERY IMPORTANT to me. Any suggestion on what went wrong? Should I take it back to the pc store?
The mother board had burnt out and a new one with labor was over $800. I didn't replace the mother board because although the Toshiba laptop had all of my important info on it, it was about 5 years old so I decided to buy a new laptop instead. I still have the old Toshiba. Is there a way to replace/repair the mother board at a reasonable price?
Suggestions?

Get the Samsung, it is so much better. The Acer has had production and release problems. I am not going to criticize them because I understand why, but at the same time I have to be realistic on which Google Chromebook is better.

The question isn't "how do I load data from my hard disk to a new chromebook".
The question is "how do I load data from my hard disk to the cloud".

Once you've got the right question, the answer is easy. Plug the disk into a working computer - either directly to a SATA or IDE port on the motherboard or using a USB enclosure, and upload to the cloud service of your choice from there.
