Need suggestions for budget APUs?
I'm looking for a device that can play smooth 1080p video at 30fps. It should support web browsing and have an HDMI output so the computer connects to a TV. I'm considering a Ryzen 2200G with an A320 motherboard, but I'm open to other options from Team Blue if needed. Price is the main concern.
Consider an Android tablet or a Chromebook with a 1080p screen. You might need a USB C to HDMI adapter for that.

He has some basic knowledge of Windows, but adapting to an Android phone was quite challenging for him. I already have a spare 120GB SSD and we still use the old case (the PSU is 400W, which should be sufficient for the APU), so I think it would be simpler to look for used devices that can play videos and browse the internet. Honestly, getting a cheap tablet experience tends to be quite disappointing.
It really does feel better to get the latest version to prevent compatibility problems later. I'll check if waiting could be a good idea.
