I know nothing about computers, will this run roblox and work well for a middle schooler to do homework on google docs and such?
If not, any recommended laptops or desktops in the $150-300 range?

This will absolutely crush Roblox and the like. He's just not going to be able to play the latest and greatest offerings on PC. If he plans on using it for a while in the existing role (older/lower spec games, light productivity etc.) then it's not going to be a problem at all. If he's not going to be using it for too long, then you can get something slightly cheaper and upgrade to a beefier machine a few years down the line

Thanks my 5 yo HP died that he was using and he is jonesing lol. I figure once he gets to high school in 2 years we will get him something better. I just don't want a chromebook as I know roblox can't run right on them.
