Compatible laptop?

Here is the description of a laptop I was thinking of checking out. Would it be compatible with the hardware/software requirements for games like Battlefront I/II, Fallen Order, and Squadron?

@Macromind101  You might in theory be able to play those games, or at least some of them, on the lowest settings.  But the integrated graphics chip in this laptop is slower than the minimum requirements for all four games.  You can see them here, if you're curious:

So there's a good chance that this laptop wouldn't even be able to run the games at all.  If you did get them loaded, you'd likely have low fps and possibly graphics glitches, not to mention that the laptop might overheat while trying to meet the demands of the games.

In general, computers without a dedicated graphics card will handle most new AAA games poorly, if at all.  There are some exceptions, but the Star Wars games are demanding enough to practically require at least a mid-range card for a good experience.
