All #ChromeDevices launching in 2020 and beyond will receive automatic updates directly from #Google for at least 8 years since the device platform release.
I wish that was the norm with phones, TVs and other electronics as well.
Longer warranty, support and SW updates especially should be the subject of next big round of legislative push around the world.
When even after several years large portion of the general public still doesn't understand the benefits of #Chromebooks, #Google recruits #BillNye for their new ad campaign to talk about irrationalities involved...

@baldur @ratamacue I've used dozens of different #ChromeDevices and they are usually pretty stable unless I have tens of resource-intensive tabs (Gmail, Google Docs...) opened for ~week.
Though I usually have Play Store completely disabled since its implementation is still a joke. Plus it's a proprietary platform, clutters the UX...
But I haven't heard of this from deployments I've worked on nor community discussion on Reddit etc. Maybe it's a specific Android app? Have you tried powerwash?

So the most annoying websites bugging with request for push notifications you've blocked from asking again are now prominently displayed as disabled among intentionally installed apps and push-allowed webapps in Chrome OS 70 settings tray... What a way to encourage bad behaviour. :(
Chrome devices are becoming a viable alternative for professional developers with Linux apps support.

Reminder: Android apps are the temporary app gap filling for the web
"I don't ever expect anybody to use the Android version of Facebook on this,” says Liu. “Because the web version is much better." ... [Android apps] are still largely meant to be things that fill in gaps that web apps can’t fill: like games, downloading Netflix movies, and those weird edge cases.
