This is a 2 core 4 thread processor. Based on a 3 year old AMD architecture.
It's slow. This is a Chromebook level of performance trying to run Windows. I can't wait till AMD EOL's the Dali CPU series. OEMs keep trying to push them off to consumers, but they aren't really appropriate in the mainstream market.

There are Ryzen 5500u with 6 cores and 12 threads selling for a little over $400.

If this was $200-250, and you were willing to reload it with Linux it might be a nice alternative to a Raspberry Pi. (About 2x the performance of the $75 makers board.)

Pulled the trigger on one now that it's down to $299.99. Needed an inexpensive Windows laptop for a 13 year old and couldn't find anything else out there with a 1080p IPS screen, 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD for under $300.
