A:Answer No, but 2GB RAM goes MUCH farther on a Chromebook than on a Windows PC or a Mac.
From chromebookvswindows.com :
"The performance of your cheap Windows laptop will certainly degrade over time. The operating system has massive overhead, combined that with the slow spinning HDD, bloat-ware that typically ships with Windows laptops and all the additional 'essential' software, it's basically a forgone conclusion this is going to happen. In five, or even just three years your cheap Windows laptop is going to be even more annoyingly slow, while the Chromebook will keep working as it did on day one.
Chromebooks, even though they have specs the same or sometimes lower than a cheap Windows laptop, always perform much faster than you expect. This is mostly due to the light-weight operating system overhead and SSD performance."
