As a general rule we do not evaluate or endorse specific machines (i'm generalizing as we certainly test on all systems we have and use and have for example m1 macs to test)

The computer mostly meets min requirements but i'm always concerned when you are using integrated graphics. Under normal use you might some lag or slight issues with graphical performance. However the computer on the higher end of things - i7, 16-32gb ram would run Fusion fine. Just be aware that graphically intense operations or assemblies with many components/links in which graphical rendering is more taxed might run slower.
