Which configuration do you have?
This laptop is sold with 5 graphics options and the answer can differ. Pick yours — nothing is stored.
- GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc 130T GPU: Does not meet the minimum requirements. Intel Arc 130T GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 6.
- GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc 140T GPU: Does not meet the minimum requirements. Intel Arc 140T GPU is tier 2; the requirement is tier 6.
- GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc Graphics 130V: Does not meet the minimum requirements. Intel Arc Graphics 130V is tier 2; the requirement is tier 6.
- GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Arc Graphics 140V: Does not meet the minimum requirements. Intel Arc Graphics 140V is tier 2; the requirement is tier 6.
- GPU option (unpaired with CPU options) — Intel Graphics: Not judged for this configuration. Intel Graphics has no tier yet, so it cannot be compared.
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.
