Intel Thin 14" Pink Thin and Light Laptop, Celeron N150 Review

Alright, let's talk about this pink Intel laptop. It's got a 14-inch IPS screen and weighs in at 1.7kg, so it's definitely portable. You get a full 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM, which is a solid amount of storage and memory for the price.

But here's the thing you need to know right away: the processor is a single-core Intel Celeron N150 running at 0.1GHz. That's extremely slow by modern standards. It ranks in the 9th percentile for CPU power. This machine is built for one thing: basic, basic tasks.

Performance is exactly what you'd expect from that CPU. It's fine for web browsing with a few tabs open and typing up documents. The 16GB of RAM helps keep things from completely choking. But try to open more than one app at a time, or think about editing a photo, and it will struggle hard. Gaming is a non-starter with a 12/100 score. It's a one-task-at-a-time machine.

At around $400, the value is a mixed bag. You're getting a ton of storage and decent RAM, which is great. But you're paying for that with a processor that was outdated years ago. If your budget is absolutely locked at $400 and you only need a web machine, it's an option. But that CPU is a massive compromise.

Don't compare this to a MacBook Pro or a gaming laptop like the MSI Vector. That's not its world. Look at other budget Windows laptops or Chromebooks. A base model ASUS Zenbook or even a refurbished business laptop from a few years ago will likely give you a much faster, more reliable dual-core or quad-core CPU for similar money. This Celeron puts it at a severe disadvantage.

Only buy this if you need a very cheap, portable laptop for one simple task at a time, like writing or basic web browsing, and the 1TB storage is a must-have. Students needing to run multiple apps or anyone who wants a snappy experience should look elsewhere. It's a spec sheet that looks better on paper than it feels in real use.
