Only two cores for modern tasks
No hyper-threading limits multitasking
Integrated graphics too weak for gaming

Verdict

Our verdict on the Celeron G4900T

A basic, low-power dual-core chip for office PCs, best known for its tiny 35-watt appetite.

Get it if you need a dirt-cheap CPU for a basic office PC or home server that sips power and runs cool. Skip it if you plan to do any modern multitasking, gaming, or video work—it will choke on almost everything.
