Expresso
The Expresso baseboard powered a generation of affordable ARM-based Chromebooks built around the Rockchip RK3288 processor. Targeted primarily at the education market, Expresso devices emphasized durability, battery life, and affordability to support widespread school deployments and cloud-first learning environments. Their lightweight performance was well suited for web-based tasks, standardized testing platforms, and basic classroom applications, helping make ChromeOS accessible to a broad range of students and institutions.
With an Auto Update Expiration (AUE) date of September 2021, Expresso-based devices no longer receive ChromeOS updates or security patches, limiting their viability for modern school use and secure internet access. While still capable of handling simple offline tasks or serving as dedicated single-purpose systems, their aging hardware and lack of continued support make them better candidates for repurposing or running alternative lightweight operating systems than for primary everyday use today.
