Verdict
Our verdict on the Ryzen 5 2400G
A CPU with built-in Radeon graphics that bypasses the need for a separate GPU, but trades heavy processing grunt for that visual perk.
Get it if you need a cheap starter PC and want playable 1080p gaming without a graphics card. Skip it if you plan to add a dedicated GPU later, as newer budget CPUs are faster and more efficient.
Buy it if…
- You want a cheap office PC that can play some games.
- You are building a compact HTPC with no graphics card.
- You need a capable starter build for a kid's first computer.
