Linux mint cinnamon runs on this laptop like a beast. Im surprised you even get windows to boot up, usually after updating windows os runs over 4gb ram and wont get me past the blue screen of death XD

[@rickstechrepairs]

even then.. the celeron has no power to it at all
a complete waste of resources

[@BudgetBuildBarry]

@@rickstechrepairs The eMMC is the bottleneck, if it can not fill the RAM quick enough at 4GB it can not fill the RAM quick enough at 8GB either. Once you bypass the eMMC for an SSD then you see the improvement. Yes still a Celeron, still have stutters here and there but a Stream becomes quite useful.

Even if you install Linux on these machines. The current weight of most web app/web site just eats the CPU anyway. I have an old Dell 6410 and it has a i7 and 8GB of ram. It fine running the desktop, even visual studio code etc. But the moment you open youtube. Game over.

i find there is basically no OS that will make these useful for the internet, i would think its due to a lack of instructions sets and also being such a low wattage

@@rickstechrepairs i bought a Dell latitude 3350 for £30 on ebay I5 3rd gen and runs internet really well can upgrade to 16gb ram and i7 i7 3632qm really cheap the old ivy bridge seems to run better than cheap modern processors. I wouldn't bother with windows 11 as they are still updates for windows 10
