I was using a throwaway chromebook taking a machine learning class, and ram didn't really limit running python scripts even on very large (6gb+) datasets.
I need to keep an eye on these, since the biggest drawback to moving my dad from a windows notebook to chromebook was screen size.
OTOH the specs this chromebook has are kind of unnecessary if you're just using the browser.
So personally it's tempting but I may wait until there's a deal on a 16gb one.

I can't confirm whether you can upgrade the ssd on this one. Some of the m.2 nvme ones you can though; you just need to reinstall the os by booting into recovery using the appropriate key combination and then, when prompted, inserting a usb stick that you create an image on from another computer using a chrome extension.
Unfortunately I'll be returning mine for a new one. The box looked like it had been stretched on the sides and you could tell the cords had been used before by the way they were wrapped. There's also a slight ding in the metal top. And the white keyboard cover was 1/4 hanging out when I took it out of the box. So Best Buy sold me a used one. No question about it. I assume they will do an exchange. Never tried this before.
I had $125 in certificates so this made the deal even better. For those wanting a larger nice chromebook, this is definitely it!!

The 350 nits, 120hz, is rare. In my hands, it is all nice, especially the symmetrical bezels.
The speakers are a bad experience. They get loud enough and don't crackle or distort, but they sound like they're inside a plastic tunnel. I can't put up with the low-fidelity sound.
