“Why does it only show 2gb of free ram out of 7.55gb with nothing open or running if it has 8gb of free ram straight out of the box with nothing installed?”

The 5GB of RAM is "used" but it really isn't. Since Chromebooks are variants of Linux (no matter how slight) - that ram you think is used but isn't is being held back as idle ram waiting to be used. To get a better picture run "free -m' either under chrome's console/terminal. Or run it under the Linux Chrome environment. You have (almost) all 8gb at your disposal!
