usability on the dell latitude 3190?

ive just ordered a refurbished dell latitude 3190 from amazon for about $89, and im wondering, how well with netbsd run? pardon me for not looking more into the laptop before buying..

the cpu runs at 2.4 ghz, with 4 gigs of ddr4 ram

its harddrive is 64 gigs of emmc, which is fine as i dont see why i'd need so much storage

i have researched the gpu and the wifi card - and both seem like they will work normally (gpu is gemini lake - i915drm[kms](4), and wifi is intel dual-band 8265 - iwm(4))

its emmc is a worrying point for me - as i havent really been able to figure out the exact specs for it, and how well netbsd supports emmc "exactly"

what do you guys think? will it run fine? anything i should watch out for? any man pages for me to research further?
