Minimum requirements
Likely meets minimum requirements
Likely meets recommended requirements
Operating system — supported (Windows 11 (v24H2, v23H2) or Windows 10 (v22H2, v21H2 LTSC); Windows on Arm: Windows 10 64-bit (version 20H2) …); versions are shown, not compared. RAM — needs 8 GB; the memory is upgradeable, so it depends on the installed modules. Processor — only an architecture or instruction-set level is stated (x64); core counts and clock speeds are not compared. Graphics — needs 1.5 GB of video memory: this laptop's dedicated GPU has enough.
How this was judged
Graphics chips are compared by class (an 8-tier rubric), not by benchmark score. The same tier as the requirement is only ever “likely”. Read the tier rubric and its limitations.
