You can easily run multiple distros of Linux or Windows on them while keeping ChromeOS for light duty tasks.

If the Chrome browser on Chrome OS is anything like it is on Windows you can never have enough RAM, it just keeps using more and more. I have 128gb of RAM, start opening news tabs and windows, and bam all the ram is being used.
I just messaged the seller to ask if they know.
Because the hardware doesn't have official support from Windows and the drivers are instead provided by a 3rd party that maintains them for profit.

The system could/should make use of whatever amount you have.
Heck you could load the whole OS into RAM in theory.
I typically multitask with many Chrome tabs and Windows. They will sleep when needed and the system will allocate as needed.
My main Windows system has 32gb now but I had one with 8gb, was still able to heavy multitask very nicely on that with some rare slowdowns or similar issues.

Unless they reset it without changing batteries, it is a lifetime count.
Beyond that they can't just swap out the battery in every refurb. That would be expensive and a staggering waste of resources.
Hopefully they find and bad ones or heavily used ones and make a swap then.
Big attraction for me on this is that it's fanless. That may also drive some away, because it certainly will throttle because of that fact.
Window runs very slowly in the virtualized environment. Maybe something has changed, but basically you're running a nested VM - qemu/virtual machine manager. But it works.
Running other stuff in the crostini Linux environment is very handy. UltiMaker Cura runs great, and the filesystem sharing stuff makes things handy.
Very nice to have the garaged stylus available too...although I barely use it it's so cool when you actually need it and it's there.
Having updates promised till 2031 is awesome - with the excess of RAM this should be good for some time.
Tells me you don't know what ram is for and how it's used...

Also, what's stopping someone from just distributing for free when someone buys it from them?
