I know next to nothing about Chromebooks, so I apologize for a potentially dumb/obvious question. My only point of reference is the Samsung Chromebook Plus v1 from a deal back in 2017 or 2018. It has served me well for the limited use cases I've used it for. One of the big selling points then was the ability to use apps from the Play Store efficiently with the ARM processor but that functionality was becoming more common at that time. With all that said, is it a given that newer Chromebooks like this one can do the same? If so, should I expect a noticeable performance increase in this machine?

If you open more than 9 tabs or use many apps and have only 4 GB of DDR you will notice a huge difference with 8 GB. Updates are faster with a better CPU but for the most part this one would be enough.

It should be powerful enough for a Chromebook for most things. The 8GB DDR is very important.

We bought it to replace an aging Toshiba Chromebook, but the maximum sound was way too soft!
Anyone know if this Chromebook has good volume through the speakers?
55x 4.4-star reviews is 'pretty bad'?
