Hello forum.
I've bought a '2nd' laptop as a cheap beater to take with me while travelling. I have a decent business laptop, but I probably shouldn't be using it for games, torrentz and prawn.
Here's what I've ordered for the tiny sum of £140 : https://www.ebuyer.com/825527-lenovo-ideapad-120s-14-laptop-grey-81a5002wuk
4 Gb of ram, a 1.1 ghz celeron processor and intergrated intel graphics but... at least it's got a 14 inch screen and 8 hours battery life. It's got Windows 10 S (the S stands for Shite) but it can upgraded to Windows 10 Pro for free according to the reviews.
It's probably going to be used mainly for streaming netflix, but I wondered what games might be worth at least attempting to play on it? I'm not expecting to play the Witcher 3 or GTA 5 on it, but perhaps Portal 2 on low/medium, Skyrim on low, Warcraft 3 and Hotline Miami won't be out the question. There's also MAME of course, although that 64gb space is going to fill up super fast.
Anyone got experience of gaming on a POS machine?
