a mid spec laptop

It is not, though.

  • 32GB RAM is great :+1: :+1:
  • it’s a six core chip :+1:
  • it’s a 15W U (ultra-low power) chip :-1:
  • no discrete GPU? :-1::-1:

If you:

  • disable Virtual Shadow Maps
  • disable Nanite,
  • lower Scalability

Enough to learn the engine, but developing an actual game, maaaaybe? I say install the engine, populate the 1st person template with a bunch of random marketplace assets and fx, run around & assess - can you stomach it for the next couple of years? Also, get a cooling pad.

Possible? Probably. Feasible? Probably not.
