Chrome OS loses shine
The same day I received my copy of PC Pro in which Tim Danton predicts great things for Chrome OS devices in 2022 (see issue 328, p34), I received a notification on my Dell Chromebook that I wouldn’t receive any OS updates, including security updates, after June 2022. Its year of manufacture is 2019. If all Chrome OS devices prove to be obsolete after about three years, no wonder they’ll sell more – unless buyers decide that a Windows or Mac device (about the same price as a decent Chromebook, it seems) will make longer-term sense.
