I use it from 2017 to 2021. It's really bad, you can't watch 1080p content on it. moreover it is an extremely slow cpu for downloading software too. Never use this cpu again. You can't be productive on a such low performance. if you have it I recommend you switching to a 4 core cpu- from amd or Intel with a newer architecture.

Don't even bother with Windows 10 on this processor, you would lose your sanity before you even have a gram of enjoyment out of it, to have any hope of using it in 2021, just install a lightweight version of Linux to make this 6 year old Celeron processor at the very least usable.—Jan '21

It's a very power-saving processor that TDP is only 6 watts, it don't even need a heat sink with cooling fan. It can hardware decode 4k video in H.264 format. But its performance is too low so it can hardly do a basicly website browsing smoothly.

Really slow, much better to just spend an extra $50 on a laptop and get a pentium or even an i3.
