Have one in a school chromebook. It's fine running ChromeOS but will become hotter than a mac when google earth is opened up.

(Writing this review on a Chromebook with this CPU). This CPU is a bottom barrel variety chip. The most this can do is media consumption and typing up documents. It will struggle to do any photo editing beyond Google Drawings and does not possess any multitasking capabilities whatsoever. tl;dr: Does what it was made to do, but it was made to do the most basic tasks possible.

Good for Light Tasks. I use this cpu on a school chromebook from lenovo. It works well for daily tasks and some light games like krunker running at 60 fps. Very good for the price you will pay for it!

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
