Eagercadet,
Hard to say for sure, but it will probably work fine.

It meets the 'recommended' OS and memory requirements. And here's a comparison of the processor in that laptop vs. a low-end 'Recommended' processor, which looks fine. Because the Celeron has a built-in video processor though, I'm not sure on that piece. The Celeron is designed for low power consumption so I would I never recommend it for serious gaming. But the graphic requirements on MTGO aren't exactly high-end, so it should be fine.

Either way, enjoy Oz and draw well!

  • Windows 7 32-bit

I'm currently running an i7-3615QM @ 2.3GHz which is a lot better than the CPU you've got and I can't consistently hit 60fps in League. Granted, mtgo isn't exactly super complex, but I hear it's poorly optimized. Haven't had experience with it myself.

I suggest you buy AMD Ryzen 5 3600X because I am also using this and trust me it's quite working well, I bought it from Reecoupons 3 months ago, I also heard about AMD Ryzen 5 3600 and Intel i9 9940X that they are quite good, I also saw both of them on Christmas sale, just go on https://www.reecoupons.com/categories/christmas, my friend using these, now it totally depend on you whatever you wanna buy.

claramax600, yes. AMD Ryzen 5 3600X would work perfectly. But, new Ryzen laptops with new Ryzen 4000 series processor would be a smart choice. As they deliver better performance than its predecessors.
