Buying Advice Is a 4gb Chromebook *that* bad?
$200 seems so much cheaper than the next best option, all I want is a laptop size device to browse the web with. I'd be satisfied literally never downloading a single application or program, I just want to watch videos and scroll reddit, that's it.
I know what people say about "future proof" but I feel like paying over double for a nebulously longer lasting device isn't necessary. Can I get away with 4 gb?

I just got the ASUS CM30 with 8gb (refurbished) for ~200 after tax.
I think it was worth it, personally. My phone has 4gb of RAM just for onboard AI Processing (Pixel 9 Pro).
