Processor Brand Rockchip
Processor Count 4
RAM 4 GB
Hard Drive 16 GB Flash Memory Solid State
Wireless Type 802.11 A/C
Average Battery Life (in hours) 13 hours

and

Acer Chromebook CB3-131-C3SZ 11.6-Inch Laptop: $160

Screen Size 11.6 inches
Max Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 pixels
Processor 2.16 GHz Intel Celeron

Processor Count 1
RAM 2 GB DDR3L SDRAM
Hard Drive 16 GB flash_memory_solid_state

i usually open around 4-6 tabs at the same time, so is 2gb ram (acer) enough?
Thanks

In terms of performance, the asus will be better as it has 4 gigs of ram. 2 gigs is enough for what you are doing as I have the 14 inch acer chromebook with 2 gigs of ram and it is quite good for the price. My best suggestion is not to use too many extensions. My advice will be to look at the screens though before you buy to make sure it is adequate for you.
