HP envy 17 isn't gaming laptop for starter. You can prob still play a game, but at medium or low setting. As for the editing, 32gb of ram is actually great, it can still do 1080p editing.

For the emulation, I think anything up to ps2, gamecube, wii, psp, 3ds should be fine. ps3 emulator however, your low-power cpu and 4gb vram might get in the way of that. Some lighter game might still be able to run thou

lighter like indie games? Not looking to run newer titles unless indie or super well opmtmized. Could this run most games pre 2020 ish?

Any games that aren't too heavy on cpu/gpu usage. Probably it can run well for the pre 2020 games on medium, low. haven't tried it yet. Some heavy games from 2018-2019 might need more compromise thou

4gb vram will be your problem.

Try some free games and see how it gets on.

Well, it can play quite a lot if you lower some graphics specs, but don't expect any miracles. I did play and finish Death Stranding with a Ryzen 5 3400G and 16GB (technically 14GB) and the 2GB iGPU and even tried out Cyberpunk at launch and it ran. Bottom graphics but ran.

heres what I've tested so far and heres how its performed, hope this gives a good estimate on what my system can handle

Persona 3 reload- runs almost perfect on highest settings with occasionally stutters

Spyro trilogy- same as persona 3 reload

Halo mcc- runs pretty good on highest but some stutters when assets load in (also happened on steam deck so i assume this is normal for the game)

Re2- stutters every 10 seconds despite being above requirements

re4- shockingly decent but minor stutters during outside scenes

street fighter 6- flawless if ambient occasion and screen space reflections are disabled and everything else is high

cuphead and silksong- weirdly inconsistent frametime...

Sonic racing crossworlds- flawless on high with occasional stutter or frametime slowing when performing a trick or boost

stellar blade- pretty good with dlss performance on low or with fsr 3

marvel rivals- 45-60 frames on lowest, though enabling frame gen helping and i barely notice any stutters

dispatch: Nearly flawless with some occasional stutters

hades, risk of rain 2, geometry dash, bloons td6, pizza tower, most ps3 era games: Flawless

the one ps2 emulationed game i tried was dmc 2 on pxcs2 which also ran flawlessly so yea

the 3050 is basically a 1660 super

it'll maybe run like 2 new games like arc raiders if you put dlss to ultra performance and enable FSR framegen
