Good news for Chromebook fanciers - Google has promised that "all Chromebook platforms will get regular automatic updates for 10 years — more than any other operating system commits to today". Starting in 2024, "if you have Chromebooks that were released from 2021 onwards, you'll automatically get 10 years of updates" and for Chromebooks released before 2021 and already in use, "users and IT admins will have the option to extend automatic updates to 10 years from the platform's release (after they receive their last automatic update)". 10 year old computers (i.e: Intel Core i5-3000/4000 series CPUs) are still very usable!
