   > 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 have a 12 year old Acer C720 that while obviously doesn't run chromeos anymore, it's still useful as a super durable 12'' linux machine.(thankfully it's intel based)

      It road around in a backpack while cycling around campus, survived multiple bike spills, knocked off tables half a dozen times.

      Really sad we can't get something like this anymore.

         I also have one C720 - touch screen and 4Gb Ram plus 128G SSD.

         Amazing device for it’s price!
