That's what you get for a 24 bucks difference. (and no, nobody expects it to be able to run farcry. However brutaldoom with low settings and vulcan engine yes https://youtu.be/Vah-kYQCQhk?t=897 and mugen https://youtu.be/ZBYMP0BPCC8?t=89 and blender and gimp and kdenlive... I know because I do it on a i3-4000M with 4GB ram already on a 1600x900 screen (I don't have a graphic card) and the i3-7100U is roughly equal to the i3-4000M https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-4000M-vs-Intel-Core-i3-7100U/m6476vsm176913 slightly better actually. So, 8GB of ram instead of 4GB would ultimately be a better investment than the i5-7200U. So all this packed at the back of a 800x600 screen would give a pretty decent multipurpose computer. Definitely not a professional workstation but for web browsing, 1080p videos, light gaming, basic video and image editing and sound editing with audacity or MILKYTRACKER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4vl7b4nzII it's fine)
