Is the J4005 good enough?

[BTown3]

I was wanting to get a NUC with a J5005 however it seems they are nowhere to be found unless being sold at a ridiculous price. So I was thinking on buying the J4005 NUC instead. 

So is the J4005 good enough for Windows 10, web browsing, skype, netflix, youtube, and occasional basic photoshop which I have been doing currently on a N4200 laptop. 

I intend to run a SSD and 8GB of ram. I will give it a few months to see if he J5005 becomes available if not will this work without being sluggish?

If you want w10, browsing, skype, netflix, youtube, photoshop, etc, and you do not want "sluggish", you need to set your expectations properly.

Compare the two processors:

And, a nuc with the J4005

My expectations would be at least close to the performance of the N4200 with browsing, youtube, netflix, skype, just basic tasks.

I would be buying the NUC7CJYH
