No security or feature updates, but selling as "new."

    Considering that it’s basic x86 Linux+Chrome it could be supported indefinitely without any issues. Especially just chrome, once unsupported it won’t even receive updates to the browser and that’s unacceptable

        How often do you see a worthwhile firmware update to something older than two years?

        Besides, running Linux isn’t a blocker for firmware updates if the vendor supports it.
