Google says Chromebook updates end in 2034, ‘many’ models move to Googlebook OS

Google has announced that updates for existing Chromebooks will continue through the Googlebook era, which is expected to end in 2034. The tech giant has stated that "Chromebooks you have today will continue to receive updates through their supported lifetime." All enterprise and education management capabilities will remain intact.

Googlebook models are expected to receive similar management tools, though they are not yet available. Many existing Chromebook models will be able to transition to Googlebook OS, with details on migration paths and device eligibility to be shared soon. Google is committed to supporting the transition to Googlebook OS for qualifying devices whose 10-year support lifecycle extends beyond 2034.

ChromeOS updates will continue through mid-2034, as previously mentioned in a court case. Googlebook pre-orders are now open, with models shipping in early October.
