Azulle access35/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Lag was everywhere, from opening menus to switching apps. Even with the newer chip, the Access4 felt sluggish when attempting to navigate Windows. ![]() The Celeron J4125 has a slight edge in processing speed, running at 2GHz to its predecessor's 1.5GHz base frequency and able to hit a burst frequency of 2.7GHz to the older chip's max of 2.5GHz. ![]() Both are unthreaded, quad-core CPUs built on the 14nm process. The two chips, however, are very similar. Released roughly a year ago, the Celeron J4125 is two years newer than the Celeron J4105 in the Access3. Preloaded with Windows 10 Pro, our test system's 64GB of flash had only 37.5GB of free space left, leaving little room to store much of a photo or video library. The Celeron J4125 is the only CPU on offer, and you can't get more than 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage even if you're willing to pay for it. (The $249.99 base model features the same hardware as our $269.99 Windows 10-based tester, just with Linux.)Īlthough you have your choice of operating system, it's one size fits all for the system’s internals. You also have the option of outfitting the system with Windows 10 Pro or Linux. The Access4 is the same stick PC as the Access3 with a newer, slightly faster Celeron chip inside and the baseline configuration bumped from a measly 2GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC flash memory storage to a better but still modest 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. With an updated Intel Celeron processor on the inside and a USB Type-C port on the outside, this latest model offers slight improvements over last year's Azulle Access3, but its capabilities remain the same as a low-cost PC built for a specific task rather than general use. Designed primarily for commercial use in a kiosk or for digital signage, the Access4 can also serve as an easy and inexpensive way for home users to add Internet smarts to an old TV or monitor. Regular Windows use requires patience, but the Access4 has enough muscle to stream 4K video smoothly. Its main charms are its tiny footprint and silent operation rather than anything approaching mainstream performance. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security SoftwareĪzulle's Access4 (starts at $249.99 $269.99 as tested) is a candy-bar-size micro-PC meant for the back of your TV or a spare monitor.
