Community Feedback

What Owners Say

Owners say it sips power and runs silent in basic builds. The big complaint is it feels sluggish for anything beyond light web browsing.

Pros

Quiet enough for a fanless build
Sips power in always-on setups
Handles basic office tasks fine
Runs cool without any active cooling

Cons

Feels slow for modern multitasking
Integrated graphics are very weak
Only supports older DDR3L RAM

Verdict

Our verdict on the Celeron J3455

A low-power Apollo Lake quad-core chip from 2016 that runs cool and cheap, but feels painfully slow for anything beyond basic desktop tasks.

Get it if you're building a dirt-cheap media server or a basic NAS that just sips power and never needs to do anything fast. Skip it if you plan to run a modern desktop OS or any task that requires actual speed—this chip was slow in 2016 and feels ancient now.
