Chrome Unboxed has an interesting article that notes the Google has extended the support life for the MediaTek MT8173 SoC powered Chromebooks. These are ARM-based processors like those used in most smartphones. The change means that ChromeOS updates will end in June 2025 rather than June 2022.
The Chromebooks affected are mainly Lenovo ones, but that makes me quite happy as the one that I'm typing this on (an N23 Yoga) falls into that category.

- Ideapad S330 Chromebook
- Ideapad C330 Chromebook
- Poin2 Chromebook 14
As an aside, you should always check when a Chromebook was introduced to see when support will stop. Some of the bargains aren't what they seem.
A good site for the specs and release years is this one.
