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
Slackware 1.0 isn’t still receiving updates though. There doesn’t seem to be a statement on how long major releases are supported, it just says “a number of years.”

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.
