Hello Ciarán,

If they're anything like Apple in this regard,(most likely) they'll start
making the OS run excessively slow on older devices in a bid to force
user to buy newer hardware.

An example;  Updates to my daughter's ipod rendered it useless after a
couple of years.  So we bought new hardware - not from Apple.  Problem
solved.

As for the offline software issue - chromebook; it's google - they want
all your data.  It's what they do.
