Google confirms ChromeOS sunset in 2034
Google has confirmed its plan to end support for the ChromeOS operating system by mid-2034. The confirmation appeared on a new support page clarifying the role of upcoming Googlebooks devices.
Google has confirmed its intention to sunset its ChromeOS operating system, with support slated to end by mid-2034. The company published a new support page detailing this timeline, coinciding with preparations for the launch of its new Googlebooks devices.
The new Googlebooks, built on Android, are positioned to compete with macOS and Windows. According to the support page, these devices will offer an enhanced experience with deeper system capabilities and integrated AI features.
Similar to previous Chromebooks, Googlebooks will receive 10 years of software support. However, the extended support window for some existing Chromebook models will be honored despite the overall ChromeOS sunset.
The support page indicates that while ChromeOS support will continue through mid-2034, the specific support lifespan for newer Chromebook models may differ, with some devices already having support windows extending beyond this date.
