I am in the market for a Chromebook. This will be a second machine, like a Kindle Fire with a keyboard. I'm not imagining any kind of power use at all, just streaming, reading, word processing, surfing, and monitoring of videos and photos as I shoot them. But that's not to say that I couldn't discover that I like using it for other things too.
Almost all of the Chromebooks on Amazon have 4GB RAM, but some have as much as 16GB.
Comparing my options on Amazon, I think my priorities are (in order):
- Touchscreen
- Price
- Reviews (reliability)
- Larger screen (14" is good, 15.6" is better)
- Camera quality
- Processing speed and power
Am I likely to actually experience significantly better performance with more RAM?
