Bargaincrazy has recently reduced the price of Sony Vaio SVE-1713Z1EB from a whopping £1149 to a mere £699.99. There’s even a possibility that Bargaincrazy will slice another £70 off the current price. The refurbished units are available with 12-month warranty and there’s a guarantee that users won’t find any blemish or other external imperfections.
The Sony Vaio SVE-1713Z1EB is the company’s premium laptop from the earlier generation, equipped with 2.2GHz Intel Core i7 3632QM “Ivy Bridge” quad-core processor with 6MB of L3 cache and clocked up to 3.2GHz on peak load. There are also 1TB HDD, 8GB of RAM, 17.3-inch 1080p display, 2GB of RAM and Blu-ray drive.
The AMD Radeon HD 7650M is a mid-tier discrete graphics card, which may deliver smooth gameplay when running latest 3D games at medium-high detail settings at 1366 x 768 resolution. Expansion and connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet port, D-sub connector, HDMI out, card reader and four USB ports. The laptop measures 38mm at its thickest point and weigh about 3.2kg. Unfortunately, the battery life is somewhat unimpressive at about 3.5 hours.
