Chromebooks usually have 4GB of memory, and many have less. For me, at least, it was a bit of sticker shock, but it’s been fine in practice. It’s true that you won’t want to spin up full VMs, but this is a dual-Core ARM anyway. For comparison, I frequently use chromebook-chrome, Debian-container Linux apps (usually terminal and emacs), and Android Outlook simultaneously on my chromebook without trouble. That device has a comparatively beefy intel cpu, though.
