    A maybe not-so-silver lining is that the major consumers of Chromebooks (schools, mostly) probably won't see their hardware survive that long.

      You’d be surprised I’m sure some schools did have it last that long

        I work in e-waste recycling. I've seen hundreds, maybe thousands of Chromebooks come in from schools. They are five years old maximum, and most are in pretty bad shape.
