The Intel Celeron J4125 - a Gemini Lake Refresh quad-core chip launched in late 2019 - is definitely showing its age, but don't write off its media capabilities just yet. Especially when the whole computer featuring a great heat sink case is
just $198. It's still a perfectly fine option for a DIY router, an alternative to a Synology box, or a silent console for retro gaming. Designed for efficiency, this low-power CPU will feel particularly fast and snappy when running a lightweight distro. The perfect opportunity to give Linux a try!
