Last week’s podcast centered discussion on why most Chromebooks come with just 2 GB of memory. This week, we get the official answer: Because that’s what the hardware makers are choosing to use. That means if enough people cry out for 4 GB of memory, some Chromebook manufacturers could change their approach.
We also share some hands on thoughts of the LG Chromebook on this week’s podcast and share a new Chrome app that can help you diagnose connectivity issues.
