Cave

The Cave baseboard represented a push toward higher-end convertible Chromebooks, offering premium build quality, stronger performance, and modern display features for its era. Built on the x86_64 architecture, Cave devices often included capable Intel processors, higher-resolution touchscreens, improved hinge mechanics, and enhanced input options like active stylus support. This platform catered to users seeking a polished ChromeOS experience that blended laptop-class productivity with versatile tablet functionality, making it appealing to professionals, students, and creative users alike.

With an Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date of June 1, 2023, Cave-based systems have reached the end of their official support period and no longer receive updated security patches or ChromeOS features. While still usable for light to moderate workloads, their aging hardware and software support status mean they are best suited for casual use, offline functionality, or repurposing through alternative operating systems. Those seeking a modern convertible ChromeOS experience will find more advanced capabilities and longer support windows in newer platforms.
