Since it uses an ARM processor you can forget about running anything not developed for that processor. That means all major games and a lot of 64bit applications. On the plus side it is supported by Minecraft.

      Thank you for the reply 🙂
      So what you mean is that the Intel® Core™ i5 Processors with Intel® Hybrid Technology is an ARM processor?

        No but thanks for pointing out that the new version has the Intel Core i5-L16G7 which is a processor aimed at low intensity workload. Intel developed this to compete with ARM processors. If it can run the Sims 4 it would only be the Legacy edition and it would do so poorly. For light school work, email and browsing the web it should work well. It may even be possible to run some minor games that are not too taxing.
