You probably could, but DDR5 4800 is kinda slow; if it were me, I'd replace it with 32GB DDR5 6000.

Other than poor battery life due to lack of iGPU, would this be decent for light UE5 development?

Would this be good to play Waterpark Simulator?

You can. DDR5 appears to be the first standard to support 12GB DIMMS / SODIMMs, and you can find identical speed 12GB SODIMMs on Amazon and eBay.

Apart from this, that 12GB RAM is a serious handicap and it's silly for a laptop to ship with a dGPU and under 16GB RAM in 2025. Upgrade to at least 16GB, or you'll run into serious memory issues with most modern games. 24GB RAM should be acceptable with this laptop, but if it were me, I'd recommend replacing at 12GB 4800 SODIMM with 2x16GB DDR5 5600. 5600 appears to be the max speed this series can support.

After that, your real limitation will be that 4 core CPU. Most modern games are now being designed to take advantage of 6 or more cores. It likely will not hold back that RTX 4050 however, so this laptop makes for a decent low-end gaming laptop once the RAM is upgraded. The 6GB VRAM is yet another limitation, so don't expect this to run Ultra-level textures at 1080p with any AAA game from the past 3 years.

Just bought at this price yesterday. Running GSPro Golf simulator software pretty well. Flyovers look smooth.

Looks like a really good deal for the price. Managed to snag an open box excellent one for my son at $520. This will be a welcome upgrade from his current bottom bin HP Pavilion i3 laptop.

I opened mine up and checked the hardware. It ships with a single 12 GB DDR5-4800 stick and one open RAM slot. The board supports up to 64 GB total (2×32 GB). The main SSD is a Micron 2500 Gen 4×4 in the M.2 2280 slot. There's a second open M.2 slot next to the Wi-Fi card, and it actually has mounting posts for both 2242 and 2280 drives, so it supports either size. You can add another full-length 2280 NVMe drive there.
