😊 In plain English
A REFURBISHED tower for $50 CAD for email, web browsing, documents, and small spreadsheets. This is a Microtower desktop model: allow room for the tower, as it is not a mini-PC.
Windows 11 Pro in French and the software listed below are already installed. The USB keyboard, USB mouse, and power cable are included. The monitor and video cable are not included: the outputs are VGA and DisplayPort, with no native HDMI.
Important for internet use: this configuration does not have built-in Wi-Fi. Connect it to the network via an Ethernet cable or add the new USB Wi-Fi dongle offered as an optional add-on for $15, not included in the $50 price.
Its 8 GB of memory is suitable for everyday tasks; a separate upgrade can increase the memory to 32 GB. The 128 GB SSD is used to store Windows, programs, and your files. Some of the space is already occupied: plan for another storage device for large collections of photos or videos.
Please note: Grade B means a functional device with scratches and visible signs of wear on the case. This PC is not intended for demanding modern games or large video editing projects. 30-day hardware warranty; Windows and installed programs are excluded. The terms and all exclusions are explained below.

📊 Processor comparison — PassMark
| Processor | Benchmark year | Cores / threads | Frequency | PassMark CPU Mark ≈ | Benchmark |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Intel Celeron N4000 | 2018 | 2 cores / 2 threads | 1.1–2.6 GHz | 1,434 | Mobile entry-level |
| Intel Core i5-2400 | 2011 | 4 cores / 4 threads | 3.1–3.4 GHz | 3,844 | Previous generation |
| ⭐ Intel Core i5-3470S, this PC | 2012 | 4 cores / 4 threads | 2.90–3.60 GHz | 4,359 | S version, 65 W thermal envelope |
| Intel Core i5-3470 | 2012 | 4 cores / 4 threads | 3.2–3.6 GHz | 4,654 | 77 W version |
| Intel Core i7-2600 | 2011 | 4 cores / 8 threads | 3.4–3.8 GHz | 5,317 | More threads |
Visual comparison — CPU Mark multicore

The bars start at zero and are proportional to the scores on this chart. The longer the bar, the higher the benchmark multicore score.
Source: PassMark / cpubenchmark.net, benchmarks viewed on October 25, 2026, according to information provided by LA CLÉ INFORMATIQUE. Approximate average scores of processor models, not measured on this specific unit. The processor's TDP is not the computer's total power consumption.
💡 How to interpret these results?
The Core i5-3470S scores approximately 204% higher than the Celeron N4000 and 13% higher than the Core i5-2400 in this multicore index. The standard Core i5-3470 scores approximately 7% higher than the S version. The Core i7-2600 has a higher multicore score, with 8 threads instead of 4.
The S version of the i5-3470 uses a nominal TDP of 65 W, compared to 77 W for the standard version. These values are not a measure of the tower's total power consumption. The score does not guarantee that every piece of software will be 204% faster than on an N4000; it does not directly measure the SSD or graphics performance.
When choosing, primarily compare your needs: documents, email, browsing, and compatible administrative tasks. The MT format offers upgrade possibilities, but each addition must be verified with the workshop. The SSD, 8 GB of RAM, and included accessories also contribute to the overall value of the $50 package.
✅ What this PC can do
- Email, web browsing, folder management, and administrative documents.
- Everyday office work with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, depending on file size.
- Schoolwork and small business management.
- Video conferencing depending on application requirements, with an appropriate webcam and microphone, not included.
- Multimedia playback depending on format, browser, and connection.
- Reading and burning compatible CDs/DVDs.
- Reading memory cards compatible with the installed reader.
⚠️ Important limitations
- 2012 platform and integrated Intel HD Graphics 2500.
- Not designed for demanding games, 3D rendering, or heavy professional video editing.
- 128 GB SSD: limited space for large collections of photos, videos, and archives.
- No native HDMI output.
- The number of tabs and fluidity depend on the applications and their use.
- No promise of universal 4K playback or instant startup.
- Grade B: visible signs of wear.
👥 Who is it for?
Home users: documents, email, and the internet.
Students: research and writing, depending on school requirements.
Remote workers: light tasks and compatible applications.
Small businesses: administrative workstation or low-budget backup computer.
🎮 Games: this is not a gaming PC
Intel HD Graphics 2500 is an older integrated graphics chip. No game tests or FPS readings for this specific unit are provided.
🟢 Most realistic options
Card games, puzzles, and old or very light games, after checking their requirements. Old Flash games require a suitable solution; their operation in a modern browser is not guaranteed.
🟠 Check on a case-by-case basis
Minecraft, Roblox, and League of Legends: versions, experiences, drivers, and requirements change. Low settings alone do not guarantee compatibility or good fluidity.
🔴 Bad purchase target
Fortnite, GTA V, CS2, Valorant, Apex Legends and recent AAA games: opt for a dedicated gaming setup rather than this integrated circuit.
To assess an optional graphics card, contact the workshop. Compatibility, power supply, dimensions and cooling must be checked; the MT format does not guarantee support for any card.
