A:AnswerI don't see why you would have any problem running Rust or any game on steam for that matter. Other than maybe some specific, graphic heavy games.

A:AnswerThe hybrid refers to the fact the supplied hard drive is a hybrid drive. You get one terabyte of actual hard drive storage and 8GBs of flash memory that's supposed to help speed up processes like opening applications and starting up the computer. Considering the size of this particular hybrid, it's probably not even going to have much of an effect and the hard drive itself spins at 5400 rpm so it won't be like having an SSD.
