@lupyuen Unfortunately, completely unsurprising. This part seems strangely passive:

"The second and more complex solution is for Google to pressure Chromebook manufacturers to improve repairability by increasing the production of compatible spare parts across multiple models, extending the products' lifespan."

Google's not the customer of these Chromebooks, public schools are. If anybody should be doing any pressuring, it's government regulation in some form, including withholding purchases.

@danct12 @alexcleac @lupyuen I bought one replaced by Linux immediatly (didn’t want to use ChromeOS, but that was an ARM available NoteBoot), but hardware failed after 1 or 2 years, no more power. I need to found someone with knowledge to check it.

@alexcleac @lupyuen A lot Chromebooks allows booting a non-Google OS, which is really nice.
