I assume you never used them for YouTube/zoom/meet? Whether you like or not streams become heavy - older devices cannot handle. With spectre/meltdown patches things became slower for these older devices. For reasons beyond comprehension everyone wants to see only 120fps or hfr. If you see all k12sysadmin forums you can see these are also motivated by the school admin - they get good contracts from Apple/others to upgrade or lose out. Parents too want shiny devices for their children. > environmental crime, as is a lot of support ending the useful lives of devices. It is the same like all large companies selling their windows 7 or 10 device (after 3 years of leasing) or TV. Ideally there could be FOREVER updateable windows version with only security support/patches - basic version. The WORLD business model is bad for environment/world. At least all these Chromebooks will be sold in eBay (for cheap) via resellers that are used well by linux community.
