there are models with 8gb. with the expanded scope (android, linux), there will be pressure to increase RAM.

Just like Android already increased the storage availability (3 years ago people would have laughed about a chromebook with 256gb storage - what's the point? And now there's Pixelbook)

HP Chromebook G1 goes up to 16GB with the M7 model. I have the M3 one with 4GB RAM and it works well for me with either ChromeOS + crouton or plain Ubuntu 18.04. It should get Linux app support too, it's a fairly recent device.

EDIT: looks like you can get the M7 for <600$ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M29N9BR/ref=as_li_qf_sp...

You know I'd rather see some of these chrome books with 8g and still in the $300 range.

But thanks, that's actually a nice little machine.
