Running on reduced power is not even close to hard, what with the powerful monstrosities our modern systems are. The only really tricky bit is to not try to push too much stuff through the graphics pipelines (higher res graphics is effectively O(n^2) as resolution increases), or use code that gets too clever spending lots of CPU for marginal stuff like pretty animations or something. An RPi4 is comfortably more powerful than anything I had prior to 2010, and if you've got decent solid state storage on it you could argue even past that. It really ought to be snappy and very effective, for everything except maybe the web browser, and that's more the fault of bloated web sites than the computer or the browser in my opinion. This ought to be nothing special, just what people expect.
