Decent specs for the price even if refurbished other than the eMMC storage. I buy the Chromebooks for my company and won't get anything without UFS storage, you see bottlenecks with eMMC frequently

Here is some more info in case anyone is interested.

I ordered this device from Walmart in Oct '22, for $399. So far been a pretty nice Chromebook. It did get rebranded as a Chromebook Plus on the splash screen. Also gets updates through June 2032.

Chromebooks use small memory apps so this should not be a problem and if you video edit you might want 16 GB ddr anyway.

Edit:
My current Chromebook I5 is emmc it also has a m.2 slot but I really do not know how it could be any faster. Apps load very fast. I do not use a lot of them.

Chromebooks are more for browsing and watching videos and such and it does all that well. The I5 is faster than my I3 that did have NVME. So whatever difference the M.2 might make it is less than the I3 vs I5 difference.

I have heard of this being done but can not find a video of how to transfer the eMMc to a M.2. From what I could find this most likely does have a M.2 slot.

Apples to oranges.

High spec Chromebooks do run higher than low spec windows. But windows needs more to work as well.

This is a high spec for a Chromebook but not for windows.

Even if windows Display Port 1.4 not easy to find at this price. Get a port and you can run three external displays.
