Community Feedback
What Owners Say
Owners like it for being cheap and cool enough for a basic office PC or HTPC. The usual gripe is it feels slow with anything beyond light web browsing and word processing.
Pros
- Tiny power bill, barely needs cooling
- Perfect for a basic office PC
- Runs cool in a tiny case
- Won't bottleneck a simple SSD
Cons
- Only two physical cores
- No hyper-threading support at all
- Integrated GPU is very weak
Verdict
Our verdict on the Celeron G3930TE
A low-power dual-core Kaby Lake desktop chip that's only really useful for basic office work or a silent media server.
Get it if you need a dirt-cheap office PC or a basic home server that sips power and won't overheat in a small case. Skip it if you plan to do anything beyond simple web browsing or light document editing—this chip will choke on modern multitasking.
Buy it if…
- You need a low-power office PC for basic web browsing and email.
- You're building a cheap home server or NAS that runs cool.
- You want a tiny, silent living-room PC for streaming video.
