Chromebook = Before You Buy a Chromebook Check The Expiration Date

Did you know that Chromebooks come with an expiration date? In this video, I talk about a surprising discovery I made when trying to update my old Chromebook, which is only about 4 and a half years old. Chromebooks have a limited update lifespan, and it’s not based on when you bought it or even when it was manufactured, but rather when the model was first released. This can leave you with fewer years of updates than expected!

I'll also show you how to check the Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date on your Chromebook and why it's important to know this information before buying a new or renewed Chromebook. I even dive into some alternatives for extending the life of an expired Chromebook, like installing Linux or using Chrome OS Flex.

Make sure to check the link below for the official list of Chromebook expiration dates by manufacturer and model. Don’t get caught off-guard with an outdated device—stay informed!

Key Topics:

• Chromebook Auto Update Expiration (AUE)
• How to check when your Chromebook will expire
• The risks of buying renewed Chromebooks
• Installing Linux or Chrome OS Flex on older Chromebooks
• Why you might lose features like Android apps with Chrome OS Flex
