Sluggish as hell, compared to Ryzen 7 3700U, however usable and actually enjoyable to some extent. While you browse web a little bit slower than usually, you are able to charge your laptop with out of ordinary 5V powerbank. I like to work from my balcony, unfortunately my daily drive Lenovo e595 requires USB-C with power delivery to be charged and is extremally power hungry. For these situations i am using PBP.
Highly javascript-bloated webpages will run unusably (this is true for microshit products like teams, outlook), facebook and reddit are also somewhat annoying. Other than that with little patience and some trickery with noscript and ublock you'll be fine i guess.
Online videos are also sluggish. While 1080p keeps framerate, computer is barely usable (decompression goes through CPU, co even launching file manager is prolonged). Guess you might say goodbye to habit of listening to youtube music while doing something productive.
To summarize: forget daily driver bleeding edge experience. This isn't a product ready for your senior parents or a kid and perhaps worst Celeron based 11" crap with soldered in eMMC will give better UX than PBP. If you are able to do some hackery there and sorcery here you'll be more than happy with overall usability of this little powerhouse. For example this post was found and responded to entirely in firefox running on PBP.
