Note I did add 2 more GB and chose one with a 320GB HDD. I am well satisfied so far though I have had to work around the Google refusal to copy youtube files which is a practical thing, and the more or less esoteric printer scheme which is not a real bother but does rankle some.

You have the option down the road to flash the bios and use that Chromebook as a normal computer. I will eventually do that. The biggest thing is setting a jumper across the write screw to enable flashing the bios. I don't need to fool with it yet, but eventually will make the 710 a full-fledged Linux computer. That 710 is an odd duck that was first meant to run windows and converted into a Chromebook, so it has a full hard drive, expandable ram, normal keyboard, what you would expect in a regular laptop.
