Yes, you can get 12-months of Gemini Advanced with older Chromebook Plus models

Chromebook Plus Older Models Eligible for Gemini Advanced Offer

Google's Announcement
Google recently announced that new Chromebook Plus purchasers would receive a free 12-month subscription to Google One AI Premium, including Gemini Advanced.

Eligibility Concerns
Questions arose regarding the eligibility of slightly older Chromebook Plus models and non-branded equivalents, stirring confusion and concern among recent buyers.

Testing the Offer
Tests confirmed that older devices could indeed access the offer after updating to ChromeOS 125 and performing a Powerwash, despite initial inconsistencies.

Community Feedback
The majority of the Chrome Unboxed Plus community successfully redeemed the Gemini offer using the suggested method, reinforcing its effectiveness across various purchase dates.

The testing process for older Chromebook Plus models accessing the Google One AI Premium offer involved several steps. Initially, the author of the article used non-branded Chromebook Plus models and multiple email accounts to test if the offer could be redeemed1. Surprisingly, it worked on three different devices. However, when others tried to redeem the offer on their devices, including the HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook, they encountered issues, with the Perks page indicating that the deal had expired.

Not deterred, the author suggested a workaround involving updating the Chromebook's operating system to ChromeOS 125 and performing a Powerwash (a factory reset that cleans the device of all user data). After these steps, the offer was successfully redeemed. This method was further validated when the author shared it in the Chrome Unboxed Plus Discord community, where many members also succeeded in accessing the offer using the same method. This process revealed that, despite initial hurdles, older Chromebook Plus models could still access the Google One AI Premium offer through specific updates and resetting procedures13.
