It has been forever since I built/bought a PC/Laptop and now I was asked to suggest a laptop with an iGPU for casual light gaming (if possible refurbished).
Can someone help me get up to date with the current specs? How much VRAM is bare minimum? And which CPU generation should I aim for?
Thanks everyone!
Edit: Gaming is not the priority. Office work is the focus with the possibility of photo and video workflows in the future. Also I am very confused with the naming scheme of Intel for their CPU and iGPU. Not very intuitive.


Is Iris Xe always the same or are there different Xe types?
If you plan on doing video editing you might want to consider a dedicated graphics card
