Currently, BestBuy is selling this ASUS - 17.3" Chromebook - Intel Celeron N4500 - 4GB Memory - 32GB eMMC - Transparent Silver for US $149 + Free S/H.

Instead of wasting hundreds of $$$ for an expensive cordless phone set to put in every room (only for a single purpose), I have bought some inexpensive pre-paid android smartphones (when they were on sale under US $20) and use them as extensions to my FreeSWITCH for almost 4 years. I also use them for other communication (multi) purposes, i.e Signals,Telegram, WhatsApp, etc. The only drawbacks Iby habibie - Off-Topic
I just installed/ran a shell terminal. After doing an su into root, I was able to do a df to dump partitions and a dmesg | more to dump the kernel boot log to reveal the RAM size ([ 0.000000@0] Memory: 609240K/1027072K available (11061K kernel code, 1298K rwdata, 4600K rodata, 1307K init, 3727K bss, 417832K reserved)).

Finally, I managed to remotely connect the device using the adb utility through a TCP/IP connection and found out the device only has 1GB RAM through a dmesg dump (see line #45 on the attached file) or the excerpt is shown below ([ 0.000000@0] Memory: 609240K/1027072K available (11061K kernel code, 1298K rwdata, 4600K rodata, 1307K init, 3727K bss, 417832K reserved)).

I don't know if this should be posted here or on the Debian sub-forum. Please feel free to move this topic to a more appropriate sub-forum if warranted.

@davidalfa, congratulation and thank you for sharing such an excellent project. BTW, you can use this F3 - an alternative to h2testw (a simple console) program to test your SATA disk and see its R/W performance.by habibie - Debian
