HP’s Chromebook lineup spans budget “Chromebook 11/14/15a” models, 2-in-1 “x360” models, and premium “Elite” and “Dragonfly” lines — each with very different AUE dates depending on generation. Recent Chromebook Plus models from HP get updates until 2033-2035, while older Chromebook 11/14 G-series models from the 2018-2021 era have already expired or are close to it.

This list focuses on consumer and prosumer models sold in recent years — HP’s older “G1-G9” education-focused lines and pre-2019 consumer models generally have much shorter or already-expired update windows. As with Acer, HP reuses similar naming conventions (like “14a” and “x360 14b”) across multiple hardware generations with different dates, so always confirm the full model suffix.
How to Check Your Exact Model
Rather than matching your device against a printed model name, check it directly: open Settings, click About ChromeOS, then Additional details to see the precise expiration date tied to your specific unit.
Comparing Acer and HP AUE Runway
If you’re deciding between brands, current Chromebook Plus models from both HP and Acer land in a similar 2033-2035 range, so brand isn’t the deciding factor for update longevity — the specific model generation is. Check both lists against the exact model you’re considering before buying.
FAQ
Do all “Chromebook 14a” models have the same AUE date?
No — HP has released multiple hardware generations under similar names (14a-na0, 14a-na1, 14a-nk0xxx) with different AUE dates. Always match the full model suffix.
My HP Chromebook has expired updates — can I still use it safely?
It keeps working, but stops receiving security patches. See our guide on what to do once a Chromebook is past its AUE date, including installing ChromeOS Flex as a supported alternative.
My HP Chromebook won’t turn on — is that an AUE issue?
No, AUE only affects software updates. For power issues, see our HP Chromebook won’t turn on guide instead.
