If you spend a little more (like $700) you can get 16gb ram and 512gb. For performance I think "light office work" is selling it short. It's more than capable of handling heavy office work IMO.

Yeah, I guess it depends on what kind of work. I thought that for demanding office stuff the 8gb RAM might end up mattering after all.

But your $700 with warranty are an amazing deal that make this irrelevant. That really only leaves the single external monitor (without using workarounds) as downside.

Where I am in Europe however I don't think I could find the better specced models anywhere close to that price

Link for the sales or it didn't happen.

Thanks for the link, I thought refurbished meant it would have warranty. Cool price if you're on a pinch although personally I would not gamble on it without a warranty.

It does have a warranty. Check the screenshot/link.

That's a pretty sweet deal if you're on a budget.
