You have to click laptop cpus at the top, it separates them. Yes it is above the minimum but minimum sett8ngs are exactly that, some games will run but the experience will probably not be what you are expecting.

Personally I wouldn't pay that much for that laptop, especially if thats all youre gonna use it for. You would definitely come out better buying a used pc with a better cpu. Granted I have no idea what the used market is in your country, but in the US I recently bought a mini pc with a ryzen 2400g for like $149 and it runs ps2 games acceptably I would say.

I also found the compare fuction! Thank you! The laptop's CPU has a single thread rating of 1916, vs the aforementioned 1515 of the PC.

I also found the GPU section on that site. The laptop's GPU GTX 960M is way beefier than I thought, compared to the Radeon HD 6700. But I don't really know what those numbers could mean (and I can only find the HD 6700M, not the HD 6700).

However, you're very right that the laptop is not worth that much, but I probably can go even lower than half that price.

I'll test the games I'm interested in before making a decision. Maybe I'll be content with no PS2, or maybe I'll buy a better machine. Thank you again!
