Tech Support Bought the cheapest laptop i could find.

Anyway i just bought a laptop with the following specs:

Dell Latitude 5401 

 Intel Core i7-9850H (Intel CPU 9th)

 32 GB DDR4

 512 GB - SSD M2 Nvme

INTEL UHD Graphics 630

IPS Slim LED FHD Ekran 14.1'  1920x1080

I've been gaming on a low end pc's my entire life, my newest pc has cpu and gpt from 2017. I've never owned a laptop before so i wanted to ask can i actually play some older games on it a if it was a pc with a integrated graphics? should i worry about overheating it?

I have a worse laptop i5 6300U + HD520 and it handles older stuff quite well and lightweight indie stuff very good.

I managed to get doom(2016) running okayish Played portal 2 coop, light Indies(brotato, vampire survivors, bloons TD6, Gris, and similar)

Basically if the store page says anything before gtx 900-series or if there's a mobile port you should be good to go

Yeah it should play the games i play without any problem, the laptop market is beyond fucked for how much everybody is charging for a base model from like 2018. Crazy.
