The tech giant has announced plans that will keep Chromebooks up and running for up to 10 years—which is longer than either Windows or Mac OS X. Any Chromebook released from 2021 onwards will now get 10 years of automatic updates, meaning you could keep using yours well into the 2030s. The change comes in next year and should ensure you don't have to fork out for a new laptop for some time. Those with older products will also have the option of keeping automatic updates for 10 years after the release of their product. A Google spokesperson said: "Chromebooks get automatic updates every four weeks that make your laptop more secure and help it last longer. "And starting next year, we're extending these automatic updates so your Chrome gets enhanced security, stability and features for 10 years after the platform was released." With some models costing under £100, Chromebooks are some of the most affordable laptops around, allowing you to access the web, stream video and do basic tasks using Google's chromeOS. With a longer support period, it means you'll save even more money as you won't have to upgrade to a new model as quickly. Google is also making it easier to repair Chromebooks through the Chromebook Repair Program, meaning if something goes wrong, you can simply get a component replaced or fixed rather than chucking the whole device away.){kind=link}
