Does '2GB (4x 4Gbit) DDR3 RAM' mean that it can grow to 16gb of ram? Under those conditions I would seriously consider getting it and running crouton.

4*4Gbit=16Gbit=2GB. Basically it has one RAM module made up of four 4 Gbit chips. Someone just copy and pasted the technical spec sheet for the RAM module.

Remember that it's an ARM device. The memory is soldered to the motherboard, and in any case it couldn't possibly address more than 4 GB of it anyway.

bit vs Byte, 16Gbit = 2GB

Thanks. That missing y made all the difference. I will wait until I see what upgrades are possible before buying one.
