Hi. What games can I run on a laptop with these specifications:

Intel Pentium N3710
4gb ram
Intel HD Graphics 405 (Braswell)

I am looking for a good quality laptop that can run old games like these:

Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings
Quake 3 Arena
Rollercoaster Tycoon

I found an Asus laptop on eBay that has these specifications. Please tell me if they are sufficient to run these games smoothly.

They're "alright" as long as you get a recent one, maybe 2xxx or newer, and it's not an "N" model. Something like a Pentium 2020U is about 5 years old now and was low-end when it was new, but not absolute garbage like "N" CPUs.

Around the year 2005.

EDIT: Ideally you'd get something that has a "U" or "M", such as a Core i3 3110M, or Pentium 2020U, or even a Celeron 1037U. CPUs that end with "N" are extremely low-performance. "U" is the next step up, and "M" is a higher performance part. The higher the first number in the model the newer it is (e.g. i3 7100U is 4 years newer than an 3 3110M), which also makes a huge difference.

Hi. How good is the quad core Pentium N3710? Would games like Age of Empires 2 and Quake 3 run, if at all, smoothly?
Would the frame rates be fast enough for those games? Does Intel HD Graphics 405 have decent graphics? Please tell me. Thanks.
