edit: it appears to me it's pretty much the same CPU but made for Chromebooks
That's mentioned in that link as well, isn't it? Chrome OS needs certain security features and the "C" version for any Ryzen cpu is the Chromebook optimised version of it.
Let me know a 2-in-1 with 100% sRGB touch screen, these many ports at $250. And the point is this is a Chromebook. If you need Windows laptop, why even bother?

I went ahead and ordered one to see how it performs. Just like how Apple devices are optimized to run well with 4-8GB RAM depending on the OS, Chrome OS is the same. This Chromebook looks super delicious based on the build materials and specs. I personally don't care if it has 16-32GB of storage. I always rely on the cloud, plus it has a memory card support.
A lot of people complaining about storage in Chromebooks probably have never owned one lol.

Sorry, may have missed that part. What I hate about YouTube videos and online reviews is that they almost never review entry-level models like this one.
Worth it for the build, well - if it's not changed, and the screen -bitching contrast level as a stated spec! A good screen goes a long way. Think of it this way, long after you think this is "outdated" it will still stream stuff on that pretty damn good FHD screen.

ChromeOS works perfectly fine with 4GB RAM. It'll even put up with some tab hoarding. I still use a few 8th gen intel processor chromebooks alongside my high end chromebooks.

This is true. I tested my current Acer Spin 513 with about 12-14 tabs and Google Play store in the background, the system was showing about 400Mb free and another 1.2Gb of buffer RAM. Which means the system still has a lot of RAM to keep things running smoothly. And never personally keep more than 4-5 tabs open, I get lost with too many tabs, even with virtual desktops.

I am sad at the 4GB RAM, but I still daily use 3 Dell 7486 chromebooks with that amount of RAM.

That said, I'm getting one for exactly those reasons. In general use I'll bet this feels similar to the top-spec 3700C 4k version I had for a while.
And don't forget the garaged USI pen. I don't use it a lot but when you need it it's along for the ride.
