A support date is not a safety certificate or proof of the last patch. Check installed software separately; an unknown date does not establish that support has ended.

What this status means for CTL NL61 Chromebook

CTL NL61 Chromebook is past the recorded Jun 2022 security-support point. This does not mean the device immediately stops working, but newly discovered issues may no longer receive manufacturer fixes under the cited commitment.

What this CTL NL61 Chromebook record covers

This page is bounded to the recorded identity CTL NL61 Chromebook and the Worldwide ChromeOS Auto Update policy evidence scope. Dates and repair facts are not transferred to a similarly named carrier, regional or hardware variant unless its identifiers are explicitly covered by the cited source.

CTL J5 Chromebook shares the same recorded release and security-support horizon. Those products remain separate because their marketed identity and model boundary differ; a shared policy date is not evidence that firmware, recalls or repair records are interchangeable. The release-to-support interval is not calculated because an approved release date is unavailable.

No exact EPREL registration is approved for this record, so DevLifeCheck does not borrow an EU repairability score or battery result from a related model.

“Not documented” means DevLifeCheck has no approved value for this field. A lifecycle-policy review never authorizes copying or inferring a firmware version or another lifecycle date.

Covered by this record

This record is not a universal “global variant.” Match the model number, sales market and carrier before applying a date to your phone. A materially different variant must receive its own reviewed lifecycle evidence.

How the support date was determined

Google lists "CTL NL61 Chromebook" with automatic updates until Jun 2022. The month is Google's published Auto Update Expiration (AUE); the stored last day of that month is normalization only.

Latest firmware or patch

Reviewed 2026-09-24 against Google Chrome Enterprise and Education Help's cited lifecycle record. This source is not an exact model-and-region current firmware ledger, so no build is inferred; the current firmware remains undocumented.

Recall and safety screening

DevLifeCheck monitors CPSC, Safety Gate, UK OPSS, Health Canada. A monitored feed is not itself a “no recall” finding; dated device-specific results are listed separately below.

No exact match in this dated screen

No exact marketed-name or model-code match found in the CPSC recall dataset as of 2026-09-24. This US-only name screening is not proof that no recall exists; check the exact model, carrier and local regulator.

Repairability and battery

No model-specific repairability score or official battery-service cutoff has been reviewed for this record yet. Check the manufacturer's regional repair channel before buying parts or assuming service availability.

Each card shows only the facts published by its cited source. Do not compare iFixit scores, manufacturer playback estimates and EU-label measurements as if they used the same test.

Update cadence

Cadence not documented — not inferred from end date.

Known limitations and conflicts

Policy dates can conflict with carrier schedules, regional product-security statements and the exact hardware variant. No additional conflict has been approved for this record; that means “not documented,” not “none exist.”

Repair or replace factors

Recommended next action

This Chromebook no longer gets ChromeOS security fixes. Avoid sensitive use, and replace it or move to a supported OS rather than relying on the browser alone.

  • Support horizon: security support is recorded through Jun 2022.
  • Evidence certainty: this is a official record with month precision.
  • Software visibility: the latest model/region-specific firmware is not yet documented, so it is not used as a positive signal.
  • Repair data: no comparable model-specific repairability record is approved yet, so repair cost and parts availability must be checked separately.

Longer-supported catalog records

These records have a later documented security-support horizon. Same-brand records are preferred when the catalog has enough matches. Price, form factor and availability are not yet compared, so these are not purchase recommendations.
