It's good for a budget laptop around $900~1200. i5 is very suitable for most games. But will not able to handle modern 3D games more than 120fps with GPU that comes with laptop such as GTX 1650/Ti/MaxQ. I would recommend getting i7-9750H, as it has 2 more cores for multitasking and has better CPU options such as GTX1660ti and GTX1070 [Apr '21 Gamejang]
