The laptop appears to have a Rockchip RK3288 armv7 SoC that is a bit aging at this point (not to mention 32-bit). From what I can tell reading https://github.com/nikolas-n/GNU-Linux-on-Asus-C201-Chromebook for example support for the SoC as well as device-tree for this laptop already exists in the mainline Linux kernel.

You'd still have to prepare the bootloader, possibly tweak the kernel configuration, or more ideally bring that config over to a more modern kernel, but none of those are something I can exactly help with. You'll have to learn or ask someone already knowledgeable about the laptop which kernel config options the laptop requires to boot.

Anyway no one from Void Linux side can exactly help with porting hardware we don't have. Someone will do the work if they want it to happen enough.
