Honestly agreed. For the majority of users that just do light office work and browsing it is a great piece of technology. Although i would say it is less about performance (because those people would be fine with even less) and more about build quality, battery life, fanless design and good screen.

The one issue i have with it is the 256gb non-removable storage. More actually than the 8gb RAM, which tbh for many people is enough for casual use.

I am still waiting for anyone not named apple to release a similarly priced fanless laptop with good build quality. With lunar lake it should finally be possible imo.

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.

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.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 2 points 3 weeks ago

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

[–] golli@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

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
