Nah, with 4gb you can get away with most linux distros with XFCE, and you could even do some indie gaming. Plus, using ChromeOS means you're expected to have a network connection at all times (which makes things like using office suites locally a pain).
Depends on CPU, would love to have access to hardware like this to play with to see what it runs. But I don't want to buy it without trying it first.
