How to see how much RAM your Chromebook supports

RAM is important to how well your computer runs. Chromebooks require less RAM than computers running Windows 10 or macOS. However, you may feel like you don't have enough. We'll show you how to find out how much RAM your Chromebook has.

How to see how much RAM your Chromebook supports

If you know the model of Chromebook you have, you can do a quick Google search for it to find specifications . However, there's an even easier way—actually, there are two.

First method

The first method doesn't require any additional apps or extensions. On your Chromebook, simply open the Chrome web browser and type “chrome://system” in the address bar.

This will open Chrome OS’s built-in “About System” page. To see how much RAM you have, look for the “meminfo” entry, then click “Expand” next to it.

In the expanded information, you'll see “MemTotal” and “MemAvailable” at the top. The numbers are in kilobytes (KB), which you can (roughly) translate to gigabytes (GB) by putting a decimal point after the first number.

Second method

The second method requires a highly rated Chrome web app. It has a cleaner interface and the information is more understandable.

To use this method, open the Chrome Web Store on your Chromebook, then click “ Add to Chrome” next to “Cog – System Info Viewer.”
