Depends entirely on what you are doing. For example yes you can run Blender on this... but probably going to struggle quite a bit once you do anything complex on it. If you are "just" browsing the Web... and to be honest (on the non-Pro at least) not heavy pages, great. Watching videos that aren't 2160p x265 60fps? Sure. But... if you start to do that or video editing... yeah it will be practical unusable. IMHO better of think of it as a lightweight computer, like a RPi, that can handle a LOT as long as it's not demanding.
That's great to hear. I would probably use it for checking on my server, watching some videos and some basic work tasks. Sounds like it would work fine enough for that. Thanks for the info!
No problem. I suggest asking locally if someone around, by any chance, have one they could give you for a week or so, see if it's worth it for you.
