It has been three weeks and two days since Google formally announced the arrival of Chrome OS 90 and in that time, we’ve talked a good bit about this update, what’s in it, what flags are safe to use with it, and the fact that it has been MIA for a very specific, very important group of Chromebooks. That main group is known internally as the ‘Hatch’ family of devices (10th-gen Comet Lake Chromebooks) and until late yesterday, that entire group had been excluded from the latest Chrome OS update.
First up, the most important takeaway here is the fact that you should be able to check for the update and take it right now (Settings -> About Chrome OS -> Check for updates) regardless of your device. We did find that one particular AMD Ryzen 5 device that is still stuck on M89, but that is a review unit and we’re looking into the details for it. Other than that one caveat, every device we have in the office right now is updating to Chrome OS 90.
