There's a deprecation guide for developers which offers a few alternatives to NPAPI, including HTML5, WebRTC, Chrome APIs for apps and extensions and Native Client. Power users and business users will still be able to enable NPAPI using Chrome flags or Enterprise Policy, but only until September 2015, when NPAPI support will be completely removed.

Just yesterday, Acer announced the world’s fastest Chromebook. The last time that these two got together in September, they released a slew of new Chromebooks from Acer and HP, ASUS and Toshiba. Between this, LG and Motorola’s events, it looks like May is going to be an extremely busy month. In addition to some Q&A with industry these heavyweights, the invite notes that there will be on-site demonstrations of new Chrome products, along with updates from Intel’s partners.
