> Any Chromebook more than $400 right now is [...] anemic on memory and storage

From the first link in the article:

> The Yoga Chromebook is an altogether more powerful system. It has a four-core/eight-thread 8th-generation Core i5 processor, with 8GB RAM and either 64 or 128GB of eMMC storage.

i5 CPU/8 GB RAM/128 GB eMMC puts it in MacBook/Surface territory.

eMMC puts it on par with the 399 Surface Go. I wish there would be some evolutionary jump in perf on eMMC, its so terrible with multitasking
