Certainly not a premium one.
I bought a Chromebook back in 2014 (so, 8 years ago). As I bought in early, by the time Google added the ability to run Android apps to the OS, my hardware was too old and they wouldn’t support it. But, then, they stopped updating the OS.
I’m actually writing this post on it and it works just fine… most of the time. It’s a little sluggish, but usable. Except, when it isn’t. And that’s because when Google stop providing updates, they really do. And that includes the Chrome browser.
Chrome is currently on v104, but my Chromebook is very much stuck on v76. As a result, I regularly get issues with websites that, for good reason, don’t support older browser versions.
