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

I'm running Arch Linux in a 18 year old laptop. And I could and have run Debian in the very same laptop in the past.

I don't get your point at all. If laptops were as repairable as desktops, we could continue using them for 15+ years. And software support, thanks to the GNU/Linux distro maintainers, is not a problem.
