I'd say get the most RAM/local storage you can afford. I have a 4G ram 32G
ssd model and I've run it out of storage with LInux apps/etc.
As a Chromebook with 24/7 Internet access 4G Ram and 16G storage is
probably enough but once you add android apps and Linux apps you can burn
through that pretty easily.
