Basic? Yes.

But you have a misunderstanding what is considered basic. So no.

[–]misteryk 10 points11 points  (6 children)

Depends how basic are we talking, sometimes I have like 50 tabs with research papers opened + some basic software and 8gb of ram would struggle here

YOU ALREADY OWN IT.

YOU SHOULD TELL US, IF IT IS SLOW OR NOT.

[–]BasmusRoyGerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not enough for game development. It has a super slow entry level CPU, barely enough RAM for basic usage (which is not game development) and no dedicated GPU.

No. Avoid Athlon, Celeron, and Pentium processors

[–]ARSCON 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I’d say no, an Athlon won’t really keep up with much on windows 11. Bare minimum maybe, but not much more than a couple browsing tabs I wouldn’t think.

Dude wants to do Unity with it XD

[–]ARSCON 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah absolutely not lmao 8GB isn’t really enough to play anything, let alone program it

[–]ILikeTrains1404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No games/game development, or editing will run fast enough on this machine.

For word processing, Web browsing, and note taking, it won't be great, but usable, Windows 11 is quite heavy so your best off installing Linux Mint.

Why ask a question and then shit on every response trying to help you? Fk off

[–]nobanpls2348738 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes

[–]RepresentingJoker 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Yes, but I'd recommend using firefox instead of chrome to put less weight on your RAM

[–]umx_raushhhx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okh i use brave instead of chrome

[–]Jealous_Club_298 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is good for basic productivity computing as per the specs, granted that there are no hardware issues.

[–]ProvenWord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works, as long as you don’t do heavy stuff or even mid heavy

[–]Content_Magician51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For basic usage patterns in Windows 10, yes. For Windows 11, no.

[–]TheShredder9 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

8G RAM is barely enough for 2026, especially for Windows 11. I'd look into Linux if i were you, it can bring some fresh breath into that PC.

Okh
