An estimated 31 million Chromebooks sold around the world during the first year of the pandemic contributed to around 9 million tons of CO2 emissions, US PIRG found in its report. Doubling the software lifetime for Chromebooks would equal removing 900,000 cars from the road, and could save taxpayers $1.8 billion, the report suggests.
"Regular Chromebook software updates add new features and improve device security every four weeks, allowing us to continuously iterate on the software experience while ensuring that older devices continue to function in a secure and reliable manner until their hardware limitations make it extremely difficult to provide updates," the spokesperson said.
Gutterman told Insider that the incompatibility is not sustainable for schools who need to repair parts across different models, because they have to spend more money buying new laptops.
