Google Seemingly Confirms Plans to Kill ChromeOS in 2034
Google says current Chromebooks will keep receiving updates through their supported lifetime, and many newer models can later migrate to Googlebook OS.
- Google confirmed that ChromeOS devices will continue receiving regular updates and security patches through mid-2034, clarifying the platform's future as the company prepares to launch AI-driven Googlebooks.
- Although Googlebooks are currently consumer-focused, Google intends to make these Android-based laptops a replacement for Chromebooks in business and education, while continuing to sell lower-tier Chromebooks alongside pricier models.
- Chromebooks remain guaranteed for 10 years of software support, and "many" existing models will be eligible to transition to Googlebook, with qualifying devices offering direct migration paths beyond 2034.
- During the second half of 2027, Google plans to support Googlebook for schools and enterprises with the "first wave of core management capabilities," while Chrome Enterprise and ChromeOS Education Upgrade services remain operational.
- The company wrote in a support page published last week that specific details on migration paths will be shared soon, as Google remains "committed" to web developers despite increased Android app focus.
