Mostly eSport titles and vintage games in 1080p, but depends on which MX450 gpu variation HP will use.

Can the HP Probook laptop be used as a gaming laptop?

One thing can be said FOR SURE: You're guaranteed 100% of the GTX 1050 (Laptop) performance. Problem is, it's not that much.
Gaming HARDCORE on MX450 you'll be constrained by both your CPU (-> GPU idling) AND insufficient device memory bandwidth (-> GPU threads stalling).
I say, just get a similirarly priced H-series Core/Ryzen with GTX 1650. $700 and far better (1.4X) performance than this slim-and-light fella. 8)
