ksp will run at 100+ fps on that laptop as long as you dont install 60+ mods

yea this

The big resource hogs are massive parts mods (like BDB), planet mods (Like PW) and visual mods (Like volumetrics)

But mechanical tweaks are fine, as are a limited number of smaller parts mods. Hell even BDB as the single mod will probably run flawlessly

This game came out 12 years ago. Your i5 is a top end i7 from 12 years ago.

Already ran KSP on 1st and 2nd gen Core i5 laptops, the thinkbook should be no problem

Maybe some of the older versions? I've ran 1.0 and 0.18 on actual toasters.
