If it's purely for Office usage, it seems that there is quite a lot of fat to trim:

1. No need for a powerful iGP unless u do some light gaming or FPS gaming in low/med settings

Here is my thought, the price is trimmed to 260 bucks, but it'll be PURE office PC, maybe u can try to play COD 2,4,6,8 in low settings without lag spikes.
