It sets a baseline performance target that is really low. It's an integrated GPU laptop that's not close to high end integrated GPUs anymore. Makes your potential audience pretty much the whole of the steam userbase rather than the like RTX 3060+ userbase

Thats really good all around. I'm always surprised by how much my laptop can do, but I dont even look at the latest AAA super-shiny games because I don't want the disappointment when it doesnt work well or at all.

You know, I was rather surprised how well my 2016 Lenovo gaming laptop handled BG3. That has I think a GT640? Don't exactly remember the device names, but they stopped updating drivers for it in 2020.
