The price for Chromebooks can range wildly, from $150 up to $800, and therefore the specs can also vary. Processor: For the best experience, you should avoid older Chromebooks with Intel Celeron processors. You won’t find 4 GB of RAM in anything other than basic, super-budget Chromebooks, but it severely limits your ability to multitask. You’ll find that some Chromebooks support Thunderbolt 4 over their USB-C ports as well. Instead, you can get similar external monitor support (and spend a lot less) with an HDMI port or DisplayPort over USB-C support.
