NEWS – Android Authority has reported one thing I’ve seen when purchasing for Chromebook laptops and it ticks them, and me, method off.
Amazon, Walmart, and doubtless different retailers, will gladly take your $100-$800 in commerce for a Chromebook that’s previous its ‘finish of replace’ life which suggests the Chromebook will now not obtain OS and safety updates.
In my humble, but correct opinion, there isn’t a excuse for that.
These fashions have been famous as now not worthy of buy for the above purpose:
- Acer Chromebook 11 (C771, C771T)
- Acer Chromebook 14 for Work (CP5-471)
- ASUS Chromebook Flip C302
- Dell Chromebook 13 (3380)
- HP Chromebook 13 G1
- Lenovo ThinkPad 13
- Samsung Chromebook Professional
- Acer Chromebook Tab 10 (D651N)
- AOpn Chromebook Industrial Tab
- ASUS Chromebook Pill CT100
- ASUS Chromebook Flip C101PA
- CTL Chromebook Pill Tx1 for Schooling
- Samsung Chromebook Plus
That isn’t an exhaustive checklist. I’d prefer to see all retailers cease this apply, and the producers to take a powerful hand to get rid of it. At a minimal retailers and particular person sellers ought to clearly state the ‘Auto Replace Expiration’ date for the Chromebook mannequin they’re promoting.
Should you store for a Chromebook, you’ll do properly to make use of Google’s personal ‘Auto Replace Expiration’ webpage to make sure the mannequin you’re contemplating has a pleasant lengthy replace life forward.
Chromebook consumers, unite and beware!
