Works fine for browsing Chrome, watching Netflix, playing Civilization 5, Stronghold Crusader, League of Legends and Hearthstone. Some 3D MMORPGs will also work if scaled down (like Revelation Online low settings, Metin2, WoW...

Bought a used Toshiba laptop with a Core i5 6200u processor for cheap. Upgraded the ram to 16GB (Dual Channel) and replaced the hard drive with a 1TB SSD and removed the optical bay and placed a 512GB SSD there. - Installed Windows 11 and some games to test: Runs Tekken 7 at 40+fps at medium settings with textures to high, Street Fighter V CE at 32-35 FPS at low to medium settings.. Switch Emulator runs great and so does the Nintendo Wii Emulator. Satisfied with it. The integrated HD 520 iGPU is good enough. I run games at 720p.

NOT IMPRESS! Compare to a 2 generation older comparable i5 CPU the i5-4250 it's not mush faster (well you wont notice it) What have you done Intel in 22 month!
