    > it’s hard to imagine many Chromebooks currently in service or acquired in the next year or two will still be in service come 2034

    While there won't be many there definitely will be some; I know of an ~8 year old Chromebook currently in active use.

      I wouldn't even say 8 years is "old" for a computer anymore, right around Intel's Haswell generation we crossed a threshold of cores and performance and computers became Good Enough. You can see it with Android and iOS tablets too they last a very long time, and of course Apple Silicon leaves no doubt.
