Most mainstream chromebooks still arrive with 4GB of RAM, which isn't a problem for day to day browsing in ChromeOS. 8GB does facilitate more advanced usage of a ChromeOS device, making it easier/possible to, for example, run more advanced applications in the Linux sandbox within ChromeOS.
Another premium feature is the CPU. Although still an Atom-based CPU, this is a 4-core Jasper Lake model. ChromeOS typically is a lightweight enough operating system to already work well with low-powered CPUs, but Jasper Lake delivered a new level of performance in the ChromeOS space [chromeunboxed.com] and this example is the best Jasper Lake you can buy in a chromebook.
Lastly, the screen features a number of valuable items, particularly for the chromebook space. 1080p resolution is considered ideal for media consumption. The touch screen ensures the best compatibility/usability with Android applications. And most notably the 17" screen size remains a "premium" size in the chromebook space that can command a higher price (contrast this with some commodity Windows laptops where the 15.6" or 17" models are sometimes the cheapest option).
Though not as easy to recommend for a shopper new to the chromebook space as the $179 2-in-1 model from last year, I think this device could represent a solid buy for experienced shoppers looking for a step-up model with one or more of the aforementioned features.
Good luck!

Otherwise you can usually get a chromebook with a smaller screen with much either better specs for a similar price or similar specs for substantially cheaper, or if you're willing to pay 40% more you can get the 16" Lenovo Ideapad 5i Chromebook for $430 from walmart which has insanely better specs and almost as big a screen for a price that's still pretty reasonable.

I feel like if a touchscreen was important, you would probably be looking at smaller 2-in-1/360 style chromebooks. OTOH, if you don't need a touchscreen the lenovo has a much higher resolution 120fps screen.
It's really a question of what you want, and again, this is a good deal if you really need an inexpensive 17" chromebook even if the other specifics aren't great, because the options are somewhat limited. I was just suggesting that for people who aren't dead set on 17" there might be be better alternatives.
