Device Modernization
Codimite helps organizations evaluate PCs and Macs currently running ChromeOS Flex and plan their transition to Googlebook based on hardware lifecycle, application readiness, security requirements, peripherals, user needs, and enterprise priorities.
Move Beyond Repurposed Hardware
Evaluate your existing ChromeOS Flex environment before replacing hardware so device decisions align with support lifecycle, application requirements, security controls, peripheral compatibility, and user workloads.
Identify the actual PC and Mac models currently running ChromeOS Flex, including device ownership, user assignments, hardware specifications, and deployment status.
Assess device age, support status, reliability, performance, and replacement priority to determine which endpoints should remain in service and which should transition.
Confirm that browser applications, SaaS platforms, business workflows, and other critical applications remain accessible after users move to Googlebook.
Identify existing endpoint, browser, identity, and access controls that need to be validated or redesigned for the Googlebook target environment.
Review printers, scanners, displays, docks, specialized hardware, and other peripherals required by different user groups.
Replace or retain devices according to user readiness, workload requirements, business priority, and hardware lifecycle rather than performing a single fleet-wide replacement.
Migration Process
Move from repurposed ChromeOS Flex hardware to Googlebook through a phased process that evaluates device condition, user workloads, applications, security, and operational requirements before wider deployment.
Review ChromeOS Flex devices, hardware models, users, applications, peripherals, and current deployment requirements.
Evaluate hardware lifecycle, application readiness, security requirements, user workloads, and migration blockers.
Group devices and users according to replacement need, business priority, readiness, and remaining hardware lifecycle.
Validate Googlebook with representative ChromeOS Flex users, critical applications, peripherals, and workflows.
Move approved users and devices in controlled waves while confirming application access, identity, security, peripherals, and user experience.

| Peripherals | Existing device compatibility | Reassessed for target users and hardware |
| Migration | Repurposed hardware environment | Planned device transition based on readiness and lifecycle |
FAQs
Common questions about transitioning from existing ChromeOS Flex devices to Googlebook, including hardware replacement, application readiness, support lifecycle, and phased migration.
ChromeOS Flex is an operating system installed on compatible existing hardware. ChromeOS Flex Devices to Googlebook more accurately describes the transition from repurposed PCs and Macs to a new Googlebook device strategy.
No. Devices can be retained or replaced according to support status, condition, user workload, business requirements, and migration priority.
Yes. Hardware lifecycle is one of the main factors that can be used to prioritize migration waves.
Yes. Business applications, browser workflows, extensions, and other dependencies should be validated before device replacement.
Yes. Printers, scanners, docks, displays, and specialized hardware can affect whether a user group is ready to transition.
Assess hardware lifecycle, applications, security, peripherals, and user workloads before deciding which ChromeOS Flex devices should remain in service and which should transition to Googlebook.
