Quick Answer
Acer’s AUE dates vary enormously by model and generation — some early Chromebook 11/13/15 models expired years ago, while current Chromebook Plus models get automatic updates until 2033-2035. The table below lists dates for popular Acer models, pulled from Google’s official Auto Update Policy list. If your exact model isn’t listed, check Settings > About ChromeOS > Additional details on the device itself for the precise date.
Why Acer’s Dates Vary So Much
The AUE clock starts at a hardware platform’s release date, not your purchase date, and Google’s policy has changed over time — older platforms got 6.5 years of updates, while anything released in 2021 or later gets 10 years. Since Acer sells dozens of Chromebook 3xx, 5xx, and Plus-series variants across different years, two Acer Chromebooks that look nearly identical on the shelf can have AUE dates years apart. See our full explainer on how AUE dates work if you’re not familiar with the policy.

This is a partial list focused on models sold in the past several years — Acer also makes education-focused “Enterprise” and older discontinued lines with much shorter remaining runway. Always confirm the exact submodel number (in parentheses) since Acer reuses marketing names like “Chromebook 314” across multiple hardware generations with different AUE dates.
How to Check Your Exact Model
The fastest way is directly on the device: open Settings, click About ChromeOS, then Additional details — this shows both your exact model number and its update expiration date without needing to match it against a list.

FAQ
Why do two Acer Chromebooks with similar names have different AUE dates?
Acer reuses model names (like “Chromebook 314”) across different hardware generations released years apart. Always check the specific submodel number, not just the marketing name.
Does an expired AUE date mean my Acer Chromebook stops working?
No, it keeps functioning, but it stops receiving security patches — see our guide on what to do once a Chromebook is past its AUE date for your options.
Is my Acer Chromebook won’t-turn-on issue related to its AUE date?
No, AUE only affects software updates, not hardware function. If your device won’t power on, see our Acer Chromebook won’t turn on troubleshooting guide instead.
