At any rate, the answer so far is the speed of the memory on board versus external that comes into play. What am I likely to burn into eMMC memory, beyond what is there by default, that needs the additional speed? Does the underlying hardware make use of virtual memory?
Forget the vehicle analogies; they're not helpful, and usually not relevant either.
If you want to use the Pinebook as an actual computer (primary notebook) for any kind of real work, you will want at least 64G eMMC module; and frankly you'll be happier with a 128G module;
My daughter's mac air came with 64G and she was quickly complaining through the school year (college) that she needed more memory; my son's mac air came with 128G and was fine most of the year for him. I have been getting by with 32G on my Pinebook; but I'm going to upgrade it, and 128G is going in there....
