I want a chromebook but all the ones I've seen are the price of a good laptop, or crap. Why can't I pay £200 for a good one? What about £300 then? Nice screen,

I want a chromebook but all the ones I've seen are the price of a good laptop, or crap. Why can't I pay £200 for a good one? What about £300 then? Nice screen, 6 or 8 gigs of ram, a cpu more powerful than in the average phone? They seem very expensive for what they are (a midrange phone in a laptop body, as far a I can tell).
