Give me 4GB+ and I'd be all over that. An open Chromebook alternative, that could be really sweet.
Is Chromebook ARM based?
Depends. I have a Toshiba that's a dual Celeron.
-
Is there an option to expand the ram or is it soldered into place with no option for expansion at all?

AMD64, not x86. No 32bit options for Chromebooks.

You can see the lack of slots here. It's a SoC, no way to expand.

Looks like other model boards will be released at some point with more RAM / CPU options.

Gee, I'd expect a much better price point for something that you have to assemble....

That would be pretty cool.

They seem to be promoting the self assembly as a benefit.

Of course, for that price and specs, you could just get a Chromebook and put Linux on it.

Oh yeah, that makes more sense. LOL.
