"Okay" Chromebooks seem to cost less than the equivalent Windows laptop. The CPU and memory is often fine but I agree, they are all too often limited by the size of eMMMC storage. I managed to get a HP Chromebook 13 G1 for 250$, 3200*1800 IPS display, 4GB RAM, Core m3 CPU but 32GB eMMC. Even playing around with a compressed filesystem it's limited, especially since 4GB RAM basically mandates I have some swap space. Ultimately I'm left with about 16GB free. There is a micro SD slot but that isn't very fast.
