This is more than enough RAM for a Chromebook with an Intel Celeron processor. The good news is it comes with 4 GB of RAM.

A Chromebook is a great choice because the budget range can be bought at such a cheap price. When you consider most people buy a laptop to use the internet. It’s perfectly capable of handling tasks such as internet surfing, word processing and just about anything else you can do online. The Intel Celeron processor that comes with the Lenovo Flex 3 is what you’d find in most budget laptops. This is because Chrome OS is lightweight enough to work well even with a lower spec processor. Although this means they perform slower, they can still carry out most tasks without any issues. All budget Chromebooks come with lower-performing processors compared to the medium-range and high-spec range of Chrome OS devices. The great thing about the Chromebook is that it performs without having to have expensive interiors. Large borders or a decent size keyboard? I’d choose a decently sized keyboard any day. This is because you’ve still got to offer a decent size keyboard that you can type on. That being said, you’ve got to consider it’s very difficult to offer small borders with an 11.6-inch display. I prefer a laptop with smaller borders because they look much better. Some tests, like black uniformity and color accuracy, may vary between individual units.The borders around the display are a little on the large side.
