 ## Supported Devices and Platforms
-
-Supported devices are listed in the table below, grouped by platform/family, roughly in chronological order. To reiterate, support is determined entirely and exclusively by the Board Name. Device Names are just for reference, and may be incomplete as many models/sub-models may use the same Board Name. Figure out the Board Name and then locate it in the table. If it's not listed, it's not supported.
+Supported devices are listed in the table below, grouped by platform/family. If your device is not listed, it is not supported. Support is determined entirely and exclusively by the boardname. Use your Chromebook's boardname to see if it has support. 
 
 ### Determining Device Support
+What's in a name? All ChromeOS devices have a board/device name, which determines which firmware, OS build, etc a device uses. The board name is listed at the bottom of both the Recovery Mode and Developer Mode screens, as part of the hardware ID (HWID).

+The chart below provides a full list of all ChromeOS devices currently supported by MrChromebox's Firmware Utility Script, the firmware types available for each, the hardware write-protect method used, and notes for Windows, Linux, and macOS operating systems.

The board name is listed at the bottom of both the Recovery Mode and Developer Mode screens, as part of the hardware ID (HWID). Your device's board name is what determines if it's supported or not -- not the make, model, CPU, or anything else. The only thing that matters is the name, so use that when determining support in the table below (or for anything else really).
+In most cases, all of the devices in a given platform/family are supported, but sometimes there are exceptions (especially with older or newer devices). The goal is to offer both RW_LEGACY and UEFI Full ROM firmware for all devices, so you may have the option of dual booting ChromeOS, or liberating your device completely :)
