What Owners Say
Owners like it for basic office work and web browsing since it's cheap and runs cool. The usual gripe is it feels slow with multiple tabs or apps open at once.
Pros
- Sips power, runs whisper quiet
- Spins up basic office PCs fine
- Boots Windows fast enough
- Costs next to nothing new
Cons
- Only two cores for modern multitasking
- No hyperthreading at this low price
- Integrated graphics can barely game
Verdict
Our verdict on the Celeron G5905
A basic two-core desktop chip for office work and web browsing, held back by no hyper-threading and a low clock speed.
Get it if you need a dirt-cheap chip for a basic office PC or light web browsing machine. Skip it if you plan to do any gaming, video editing, or multitasking—this thing will feel painfully slow.
Buy it if…
- You need a basic office PC for web browsing and spreadsheets.
- You want a cheap home server or NAS for light file sharing.
- You are building a very low-cost PC for a young child's first computer.
