I'd have thought that would be even lower spec than the Chromebook.

It may be, I'm not positive what my Chromebook specs are. I know the droplet has more disk space. I use TACE[0] style development so I don't need a powerful machine.

The Chromebook in the post has two 1.1GHz Atom cores^, so a $5 VPS even if it is only 1 hardware thread on a modern-ish server processor is probably significantly faster.

^It can boost higher, but probably not for long with a 6W TDP and no active cooling

Nope it really depends on the plan/pricing you get. The cheapest "droplet" is lousier than a chromebook but there is a wide range of VPSes of varying specs you could choose from! https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/droplets/concepts/cho...
