You may want to approach this the other way. I you go to newegg.ca for example, i see the cheapest chrome book at about 400$, instead, do search on 8GB portable (4GB is cutting it close),
I've been using Mint on a Dell Inspiron i3 with 4GB for a couple of years without any problems.
I normally have 20 workspaces open, on which I always have at least 2 shell windows open, as well as Firefox, emacs (usually 2 or 3 frames as well as one instance as root), alpine and slrn each in its own shell window, Gentoo file manager, audacious, often xboard, etc....
And I forgot VLC, often two instances open. -- Chris F.A. Johnson, <http://cfajohnson.com>
