It would suck to have a laptop bricked by a memory failure, but given that the typical service life of most chromebooks is under ten years it's probably an acceptable risk.
However, there is no extra slot.
Thanks for the link to the last deal, I found it on sale at VIP outlet on eBay via a link in that thread for $183 before tax.
It's basically just enough OS to run a Chrome Browser. Basically if you can do it on the Chrome browser on your PC, you can do it on Chrome OS. Just think of it as a computer than can only run a browser and you're 95% there.

In my opinion:
Pros for Lenovo:
- Much better screen
- Better keyboard, if you want the numpad.
Cons for Lenovo:
- Inferior trackpad, based on various reviews
Pros for Acer:
- Better keyboard layout, no numpad, so everything is centered.
- Far better trackpad, based on reviews.
- A bit newer, so AUE is further out. Although I suspect hardware will die out before that.
Cons:
- Not as good a screen as the Lenovo or the Acer 516
- Thick bezels
- HDMI cannot output 4k@60Hz. I do not know if the USB-C ports can output displayport. Could not find this info anywhere
Given that neither is a touchscreen, when browsing, consuming content, the trackpad will be heavily utilized.
Not sure which one to go with.
Any opinions?

It is possible to replace the 2242 drive. Mrchromebox.tech firmware scripts make it fairly straightforward to remove google cr50 firmware write protection, which will be required.
