Even with the extended updates, buying an upper range chromebook does not make much sense. Why would you spend 1000 Dollars or more on a laptop with a build in expiry date?

It doesn't though? The expiration date is on updates, the laptop still works even after that date.

That said, I think budget chromebooks are great cause you get much more for the money than their windows counterparts. But for premium chromebooks, they seem for some strange reason quite overpriced.

Google provides hardware that runs its own OS with automatic updates for a fixed period of time after their release. This software policy applies to a range of devices, from Chromebooks to Chromebits, the end-of-life (EOL) of which is known as Auto Update Expiration (or AUE). 140 of these products have had their AUEs amended by 6 months to a year each.
