    Question Intel Celeron vs Pentium

    I believe that may have been the same laptop I previously had! Very well built and got the simple tasks done with ease, I think mine was 4GB/64GB/Celeron, though the display was cr*p.

    News Intel Launches NUC 11 for Enthusiasts: Tiger Lake & GeForce RTX 2060 Inside
