Don’t throw away your out-of-date Chromebook just yet as newly found evidence suggests Google may expand the availability of ChromeOS Flex to the old laptops.

The amount of Chromebooks that go to waste in K-12 schools is insane. So it is nice to see Google taking action on this, especially since its largest market are schools.

You're saying it like they didn't create this problem in the first place.

Also, you know what would've been a better solution? If you can install whatever you want to install (e.g. Linux or Windows) like you can with regular laptops.
