Re: That's Chromebook right out of my buying list then
It is not acceptable to me that a supplier artificially limits updating hardware to less than the hardware's expected lifespan.
I suspect this has ties to the spector/meltdown problem, where manufacturers build some electronics and they don't want to support it for life because they don't think they charge enough. Probably that their updates match what they think is the hardware's expected lifespan. It is certainly not my expected lifespan. I think a computer should be usable until it dies, say after about 20 or 30 years. A lot of manufacturers think it should last or three years. There sure is a huge difference between my thoughts and their thoughts.
