Urgh, that's junk spec:
4GB RAM? 16GB or 8GB at a bare minimum
128GB SSD? 512GB of you don't want to be forever fussing about free
space for updates
your eyes might not thank you for 1366x768 screen
I've found Celerons disappointing several times, maybe quad core
1.1GHz/2.6GHz ain't so bad?
The N4120 is from 2019, so it's 6 years old at this point. Three years ago
I bought a refurb 2018 Dell Vostro on ebay for £100. 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD,
Win11. It had an i5-8250U which is twice as quick as that HP:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3651vs3042/Intel-Celeron-N4120-vs-Intel-i5-8250UJust avoid any Pentium/Celeron/N-series machines and buy business refurb,
they're much better.
