Google has announced that all Chromebook platforms will now get regular automatic updates for 10 years. This will entail that Chromebooks will get automatic updates every four weeks for better security and for better longevity for 10 years after the platform was released. By 2024, Chromebooks that were released from 2021 and beyond will get 10 years of updates but those released before 2021 will have users and admins have the option to extend automatic updates to 10 years from its platform's release. Google also emphasized that even if a Chromebook no longer receives automatic updates, it will still come with strong built-in security features like Verified Boot for a self-check every start-up. Other news on Chromebooks includes the creation of the Chromebook Repair Program and the introduction of new, energy-efficient features like adaptive charging. Google has also partnered with Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, and Lenovo to help build more sustainable Chromebooks made from ocean-bound plastics, PCR materials, recyclable packaging, and low-carbon emission manufacturing.
