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

Good point when you frame it that way, but also worth acknowledging that relative to the alternatives, it is an uphill battle that most won't be bothered with. My experience involved reading this site + joining their discord + digging into Github for troubleshooting, which is not a viable option for 80% of users
