Intel Celeron N4000 1.1Ghz

pretty slow
wonder if ram is upgradeable? Charges via USB-C?

This is perfectly acceptable for the price. Fine for general productivity.
I have an Acer C720 Chromebook with 4GB running Windows 10 flawlessly. I can run pretty intensive stuff on it, including Power BI, several IDEs, Edge Chromium all in parallel.
A much newer model with 4GB ram should have no issue running just simple ChromeOS

RAM is soldered but 4GB is enough for a Chromebook.
Not a terrible buy from Costco.
If you want to buy from a top shelf vendor, this is as good as you'll get with the warranty options.

It’s a good price for this chromebook. I remember paying $299 at Costco for a similar Acer model with Celeron 4120 in Jan 2021.

Per one of the reviewers on Costco.ca and the Acer website this may not actually be FHD.

there is another review above says that it is FHD...
worst case scenario, you return to costco.
