Is Roblox bad for a computer?

Roblox can slow down your computer. Don't get me wrong though, it won't affect your laptop much as it is only a 250 MB game with barely any graphics. If you have 6-8 GB ram and 2.5 GHz, your computer can run Roblox easily. You won't notice ROBLOX slowing down your computer. If you have a 2011 type of laptop, THEN you would notice your laptop slowing down. So if you have a new laptop, you don't need to worry that roblox can slow down your computer
