    That is completely dependent on what you mean by daily use. If you just use word docs, spread sheets, Web browsing, light programming, etc, then yep! If you want to play games the probably not unless it’s just Minecraft and a few other older super light titles. If you edit photos, probably not, same goes for 4k videos, etc.

    Things I would consider good enough on a laptop like that. My entire job, MS office, web browsing, document reading and editing, zoom calls, and other basic office tasks. Also some light photo editing and 1080p video editing. As for gaming, I would play any game up to arouns 2010-2015, like Skyrim would run fine, maybe FO4. As for newer games general esports stuff will be fine, Fortnite, Apex, Overwatch, Rocket League, R6S, LoL, that kind of stuff is no problem. CoD and Tarkov probably not on an MX450. With the easier games, you could even dabble in some Twitch streaming with the Intel iGPU’s encoders.

    All in all, you’ll have plenty of options. You wont be able to do and play everything. Like CP2077 and Starfield wont run on that. But the list of games and apps that will run is sufficient.

    Heavy gaming? No. That MX450 is weaker than a GTX1650 mobile and that GPU is already terribly outdated. Maybe if you plan on playing 7 year old games it might be fine.

    I have the exact same specs, and I cant even run Skyrim SE at high settings, only medium to low. However, it runs 3DS emulation very smoothly. Also, you can play MH Rise on it, but you have to lower the resolution though.
