I have an Acer chromebook so I can relate. As JmaCWQ mentioned, it's probably best to disable processes that you don't use much. For me personally, I disable the Network (nm-applet) and bluetooth (blueman-applet) applets. Those two alone use almost 100MB of ram. Even though the network indicator isn't showing, you'll still be connected to your router. You can verify that with a quick ping in terminal. I've even contemplated getting rid of lightdm too.
