    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Thirteen Chromebook models have met their death date since June 1 and won’t receive security updates or new features from Google anymore.

    The US Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) pointed this out in a press release Wednesday, sharing screenshots of the models:

    The US PIRG’s release highlights eight ChromeOS devices from Asus, Acer, Dell, Lenovo, HP, and Samsung, all easily purchasable on Amazon despite their expirations.

    The advocacy group’s latest release highlights how easy it is to buy expired laptops, which can lead to security threats, e-waste, and wasted money.

    We have been tracking the specific Chromebook models listed in the June letter that recently expired this summer and were shocked to find them still for sale with no warnings.

    Retailers need to make changes to protect customers, since Chromebook support expiration dates can be unclear if they’re not included on listing pages.
