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

Unless you can easily upgrade the RAM, Storage, and replace the OS when it loses support, it's still ewaste.

Yes, installing Linux is possible, but it isn't easy. I put GalliumOS on my old high school Chromebook.

You can upgrade the RAM and storage on some of them. Installing either Linux or windows is also possible.
