The new Plus category of Chromebooks is an assurance that you’ll get a higher level of performance and features but still at a reasonable starting price.

With Chromebook Plus, you’re guaranteed to get at least the following specs, with a starting price of $399:

  • 12th-gen Intel Core i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 7000 processor or better
  • 8GB or more of memory
  • 128GB or more of storage
  • 1080p-resolution IPS LCD or better
  • 1080p webcam with temporal noise reduction

        I’m comparing ChromeOS software updates to Linux distro major release support lifecycles. The original assertion was that a Chromebook becomes useless ewaste once the software updates stop.
