1: play CS:S or 1.6, they'll run better than CSGO on hardware that ancient anyways.

2: You can play CSGO, in the beta options, and find a Gun Game server online (browser is broken from this update, so you'll have to search online to get address). "Arms Race" was valve's new name for gungame for some reason.

2.5: combine 1 and 2. It'll be easier finding servers in CS:S right now, anyways.

2.75?: The compatibility of making CSGO available for a wide range of devices kept it from progressing, the Source 2 change is for people who have a desktop from maybe ten years ago. My low end surface from nine years ago gets similar frames as your Thinkpad, and I don't try to play games with it much anymore... but if you want to play new games, especially on the go, you gotta be expected to upgrade at some point.

This ThinkPad is 3 years old with an AMD Zen 3 chip. It's not fantastic but i should be able to muster better frames. I'm overclocking my laptop just to hit 30 frames with consistency
