Currently have a 5yr old computer with an i5 processor (i5-4200U) and 6GB of RAM (running on Windows 8).
Basically i want this computer to run with same speed. Given it's a 5yr old i5, should they be comparable? I did a Passmark test and they look almost even...https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-4200U-vs-Intel-Pentium-4417U/1947vs3417
I was about ready to pull trigger on old used macbook and saw this deal. During student time it showed almost similar machine but with i3 processor month ago at bestbuy $199
Would love to pick this up for my kid. SSD looks good. Enough space for him. From what I've read it's an M.2. RAM sucks but I'll throw in an 8GB stick. Looks like it supports DDR4 @ 2400. From my research the processor seems to be comparable to an i3. My concern is will this be able to run Fortnite and Roblox? That's a deal breaker for me and I can't seem to find a clear answer if it would. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Realize that this has 2GB less RAM however.
Thanks!
