Google Promises 10 Years Of Automatic Updates For New Chromebooks – SlashGear
Google has announced some Chromebook-related plans that make the inexpensive machines an attractive proposition even for people who didn’t consider them an option before. The most notable announcement is that any Chromebook made in 2021 or later will receive regular automatic updates during the first 10 years of its life. The same extension will also be applied to models released in 2019 and 2020, according to a statement given to Android Police.
The company releases regular security updates for ChromeOS every 3 to 4 weeks; this latest announcement effectively means that all new models will receive these updates for the next decade. The policy goes into effect in 2024, and the 10-year countdown is based on the device’s model year, not the year in which the machine was purchased. Google has also confirmed that it is working with its Chromebook manufacturing partners to commit to making these devices using more post-consumer recycled materials. This will be done in conjunction with making these devices more power-efficient.
Additionally, the company is taking steps to make Chromebooks easier to repair, which would further aid their longevity. While a decade of software support definitely sounds great, it is important to note that Chromebooks already qualify for up to eight years of software updates. Once a Chromebook reaches the end of its life cycle, Google will also help the owners — whether they are individual users, business owners, or large organizations — find the right recycling option to safely dispose of the machine.
More repairable, sustainable Chromebook models soon

In addition to the promise of 10 years of software updates, Google has also confirmed that it is taking several steps to make future Chromebooks more sustainable. To begin with, the company will roll out several software updates that will enable features like an improved, more efficient adaptive charging process and a new battery-saver mode that will turn off unneeded energy-intensive processes to conserve battery.
Beyond product development, Google is taking comprehensive measures to ensure the responsible disposal of older Chromebooks. Organizations will find it easier to sell their older Chromebooks through dedicated resellers who will collect and dispose of these devices safely. For individual users, Google will provide convenient recycling drop-off locations on Google Maps, simplifying the process of responsibly discarding old devices. With these initiatives in place, Google anticipates that Chromebooks will significantly reduce ownership costs for users, bolstering the appeal of the machines as a product category.
