A 256GB SSD means boot to desktop in seconds, applications that launch on the first click, and no waiting on the disk during everyday work. For reception desks, admin stations, school labs and back-office terminals, the difference against a hard-drive build is immediately obvious to whoever uses it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe i5-3470 provides four Ivy Bridge cores at 3.2GHz. Documents, spreadsheets, PDF workflows, line-of-business applications and web use all run without complaint. Modern single-thread performance has moved on, but for the roles these machines fill the processor has never been the constraint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe 4GB of memory is the honest limitation here. It handles a focused workload well — one application in front, a browser alongside — but a modern browser with many tabs will fill it. With four DDR3 DIMM slots and memory of this generation costing very little, going to 8GB or 16GB is a quick, cheap upgrade that pairs well with the SSD already fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3
