I'm getting a budget laptop, and I want to make sure it would run ubuntu 20.4 fine. I know the minimum requirement is 2gh dual-core, but I never had experience with this processor before. here are more specs of the laptop:

256 SSD 1080p CPU: Intel celeron_j3455 quad-core CPU frequency: 1.5GHz up to 2.3Ghz Memory: LPDDR3 6GB

Thank you!

Edit: Usage purpose mainly browser, Spotify, videos, "heaviest" thing would be nodejs for school.

Short answer is "the Celeron J3455 will work with Ubuntu", but the qualifier of "fine" will be very difficult to judge ahead of time. Looking at the benchmarks for that processor, you're going to find it rather sluggish with just about everything. As a result, you may want to look at one of the lighter-weight flavours, such as Xubuntu or Ubuntu MATE.

  • Thank you for your response! That's good to know, yeah I was planning to use it lightly browser, music, videos, the "heaviest" thing would be a nodejs server for school. But that's good to know, it would be sluggish and there is a lighter version. – A.J Jan 15 '21 at 04:44
