It's okay for very basic web-browsing. Not much of a champ when it comes to playing games or multitasking. Can barely play YouTube videos at 480p without stuttering issues.

Installs Windows. Just. It can only handle 2 GB of RAM. Multitasking is a nightmare. Single threaded tasks run so poorly, it bottlenecks even some faster hard disk drives. 8.5W envelope is nice, but there are far better processors in similar envelopes. 32-bit Windows 10 is absolutely atrocious, and it struggles even with 7 Starter. Bad buy when new, especially bad buy nearly a decade later. There is nothing redeeming about nearly any device running this processor.
