1 month ago.

it is good for working on e.g. doing your homework or business (Workstation) But not good at all for gaming. It is bad at gaming especially like big titles. If you want to play an old game or a pixelated game (Like undertale) i would recommend it but otherwise, for heavy gaming, i wont.
