This isn’t going to be appealing for a lot of people, but this is a very inexpensive, name-brand Windows 11 system with a year of Microsoft 365. The cam*l site shows this as an all time low price; I’d gotten one of these in April for $167.11 for sh*ts and giggles (and possibly for future travel), now the same thing is down to $151.74

The good:
-Cheap
-Windows 11 (S, switchable to Home)
-Includes 1 year of Microsoft 365
-3000×2000 resolution IPS screen. That’s not a misprint, it really is that high of a resolution; nearly 3x the pixels of a 1080p screen.
-128GB storage is a real M.2 SSD, not some crummy eMMC.
-US keyboard

The not so good:
-Celeron CPU (confirmed an N5100 on my system, not an N4000 or N4100 as listed in some of the specs on the Amazon product page). This is not quite a very-bottom-of-the-barrel CPU, but it’s sure pokey in 2025.
-Non-upgradable 4GB RAM
-Pretty low-end build quality (on mine the trackpad isn’t quite flush on one edge)
-Barely a brand name (web site is at https://www.mythomson.com/us_en/compute … leron-5914, they seem to be bigger in Europe.)

I can see some use cases for this, as a “burner” secondary system for travel (especially if you are concerned about going over the US border or something), or to have as a productivity PC to use Word and Excel with little temptation to be distracted by games. The high-resolution screen is good for messing with spreadsheets and such.

There is one really annoying thing about the system, at least as I got it: the CPU fan is only off or 100% full on. If it stayed that way it wouldn’t be so bad, but I found that once the CPU warmed up it would be giving a half-second pulse of fan every five seconds, or something like that, and I found that quite irritating. I tried a couple of fan-speed control utilities and they didn’t seem to be able to change the behaviour, so it might be a hardware limitation. Using it with a laptop cooling mat might help keep the fan from triggering.

The cam*l site shows that the price of this cycles around quite a bit, jumping up to $330 and then slowly dropping over time before jumping up again. But this is the lowest I’ve seen it.

At Loblaws, the fully cooked ready-to-eat hot PC BBQ Rotisserie Chicken is $13.

There’s a Digital Coupon that gives you 3,000 PC Optimum points.

Which is already pretty good

but I have another offer in the PC Optimum App that gives you 100 points for every $1 spent on Hot or Chilled Ready-To-Go Meals which in this case would be 1,300 points

So that comes down to $8.70 for a 900g-1KG whole fully cooked ready-to-eat hot Rotisserie Chicken.

They have Barbecue seasoning, Portuguese seasoning and a new Tandoori seasoning.

And if you get some sides with it, that adds more points from the app offer.

Plus, there is a sign at the counter that says

“BARBEQUE CHICKEN GUARANTEE

WHOLE BARBEQUE CHICKENS
IN STOCK BETWEEN 10am-8pm EVERYDAY
OR YOUR NEXT ONE IS FREE*

*CONDITIONS APPLY, EXCLUDES FLAVOURED CHICKENS AND MEALDEALS“

So you might even get a FREE Chicken out of it because I’ve seen the shelf empty plenty of times before 8pm but I hadn’t noticed this sign before.

Perfect timing for a weekend lunch/dinner.

Or (YMMV) a Monday meal because they have DAILY SPECIALS and on that day it’s :

“Winner Winner
Chicken Dinner!
Save$3
$15
1 whole Rotisserie
Chicken + two small
sides”

Which would be $10.50 for a full meal.

*The coupon and app offer both expire June 11.
