This core I3 mini PC features an older dual core version of the processor that includes hyperthreading, so you get four simultaneous threads. As far as processing power goes you can expect performance similar to what you get out of the newer mini PCs with Celeron J4125 processors that mostly came out earlier this year (2021).The device is feels pretty sturdy and well put together. It's got plenty of ports for IO including output for two monitors. But with the performance level of this computer I didn't mess with that and just stuck with one monitor. Windows is nice and snappy on it and light productivity app and easier to run games are pretty nice on this mini pc. Just keep in mind you'll have to limit both gaming and productivity apps to older, more basic versions in most cases.Video playback is nice on it and plays YouTube without a hitch. I didn't have any problems with 1080p video on it. If these get a little cheaper they'd make handy media PCs.Overall, I'm pretty happy with this computer. It performed right on par with my expectations. I haven't had any problems or crashes with it. If anything, I've been surprised at how well some things work on it. But even so, there's no denying this is most similar performance-wise to a budget laptop from a few years back, so the amount of modern software packages and games it can run well are pretty limited.As long as you know what you're getting into and spend less than $200, this isn't a bad deal at all. Just keep in mind newer mini pcs around the same price range are a little more powerful, giving them a little more value.
