Community Feedback

What Owners Say

Owners like that it's dirt cheap and sips power for basic office tasks. The usual gripe is that it feels painfully slow for anything beyond web browsing and word processing.

Pros

Boots cheap home office PCs
Sips power, runs very cool
Handles basic web browsing fine
Quiet stock cooler included

Cons

Only two physical cores
Integrated graphics are very weak
No hyperthreading support at all

Verdict

Our verdict on the Celeron G4950

A basic dual-core office chip that gets the job done for web browsing and email, nothing more.

Get it if you need the cheapest possible chip for a basic office PC or home server that rarely does more than one thing at a time. Skip it if you plan to multitask, browse heavy websites, or run anything beyond simple word processing.
