Which Chromebooks Were Affected?

How to Update Early Chromebooks
If your Chromebook is of that early generation and won’t play Netflix, install an update. To update your Chromebook: After you’ve updated Chrome, playing Netflix movies is as easy as logging in to your Netflix account and streaming them just like you would on any other device. A Netflix subscription is required.
About Chrome OS
