Anyway, went ahead and place an order since I missed out on the i5 deal for $430.

I assume that the RAM is soldered on there with no possibility of upgrading?
also... the Best Buy page says that there is no front facing camera... that's gotta be a typo, right? (because i do see a tiny camera on the top bezel...
Thanks!
Anyway, I think it's a good deal considering the previous 713 $200 off deal last week since this one is $100 cheaper to start. I bought one and free delivery to home. Wish free delivery to store was faster so I could pick up sooner.
Pros for both: both run Crostini well (ie. Linux apps, like VS Code). Cons: both this and the ASUS have a bit outdated kernel that does not allow to run VMs with KVM. But for 99% this does not matter.

My two primary concerns are the emmc and ram(only 4gb). I do realize that it's only a sub-$500 chromebook and I only intend to use it on vacation travels. However, 4gb seems low, especially if I have a dozen or so tabs open. oh well... I guess I'll see when ti arrivs at the store.
I assume there is no way to somehow upgrade this to a real SSD?

But loading Android Studio, VS Code, etc etc was a pain (VS Code itself works ok for small node projects), but IMO also due to slow eMMC. I bought Chromebook primary to sell old macbooks and thus have a spare (non-Windows) laptop for browsing and for a kid at low cost (it looks like cheap < $300 Chromebooks are quite easy to sell used, but I have not tried personally). I'd leave the laptop (due to nice screen, ok keyboard and ability to charge from apple 20w usb-c charger at home or in a car) if it had SSD.
I have checked repair videos - it looks like most recent models (including Acer and my ASUS) have eMMC soldered.
