why do you suppose your Chromebook will be a useless brick ?

which Chrome App(s) do you use that will cease to work in 2021 ?

I have a Chromebook Pixel (2013) and they stopped issuing updates a couple of years ago (os or security).

That’s essentially bricking for me because I don’t want to log into anything secure on a potentially vulnerable device.

So what have you done with the laptop? I love the build quality and lightness of the pixelbooks but spending so much for something to brick in 5 years is an issue.

Parent was making a tangential comment about their Chromebook, not related to chrome apps.
