Best Chromebooks with 8GB RAM
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 12, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: Lenovo Chromebook Plus 14. It's the sweet spot for most people — a 14-inch 1920×1200 screen, solid-state storage and 8GB of RAM, so a dozen browser tabs and a video call don't bog it down. It's the one I'd buy without overthinking it.
Who the others suit:
- Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 — the lightest-feeling everyday option at about 3.2 lbs, with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage; great for students and commuters.
- Asus Chromebook Plus CX34 touch — pick it if you want a touchscreen for notes and sketching.
- Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus — the 2-in-1 for people who want a convertible for drawing or tablet mode.
- Acer Chromebook Plus 514 — a plain, sturdy 14-inch workhorse for school or a front desk.
- Acer Chromebook Plus 516 GE — only if you want a big 16-inch 120Hz screen for streaming and cloud gaming.
Skip the 4GB models (HP x360, Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Go, Acer CB315) — they'll feel cramped with Chrome OS updates and many tabs.
