A look at the specs for Chromebooks gives some idea of the power

Yes and no... I run a full Ubuntu 12,04 + LXDE installation (using
the crouton script) in a chroot within ChromeOS on my XE303
Chromebook :) So 2GB is definitely enough RAM for more than just
Chrome!
Incidentally, I think that size of machine is a really useful form
factor -- light and small, but with a decent enough screen and
keyboard that it is still usable. I really like it, so far (I've
only had it a week or two). I don't really like the ChromeOS "do
everything in the browser and cloud" concept, but putting it in
Developer Mode and running Ubuntu/LXDE takes care of that!
I've met several people who've bought Chromebooks because of the form
factor (lack of 'MS tax') and run a 'full' Linux distro on them.
