Boots and loads apps quickly

Cons

Only two real cores
No multithreading support
Integrated graphics is very weak

Verdict

Our verdict on the Celeron J4025

A dual-core, four-thread budget chip from 2019 that's only good for basic office work or a lightweight media player.

Get it if you need the absolute cheapest chip for a basic file server or a very simple home automation box that barely does anything. Skip it if you want to do web browsing, watch video, or run anything beyond a single lightweight task—this thing is painfully slow.
