It's built in to the Ryzen. Radeon RX Vega 7.

"Radeon RX Vega 7 in the Ryzen 7 4700U offers almost NVIDIA GeForce MX250 levels of performance"

This seems like a good deal... the only thing thats making me hesitate is the screen. What does everyone think? It has 8 GB soldered but a free slot to add memory. The 1TB SSD is very nice for this price range... and the Ryzen 7.
I have been eyeing on this model from last week. Went to staples yesterday to see it in person and they didn't have any display unit. Bestbuy also didn't have any display unit for 2020 model, but I saw 2019 Vivobook 15 inch. It's display was meh. I liked the zenbook instead but that model have soldered 8gb ram.

Also, as per Amazon Q & A, Asus wrote it is IPS with 250 nits and 45% NTSC.

If this had a touchscreen, I'd have already checked out. Seeing a pattern that touchscreens are more common with Intel chips while those with Radeon are non-touch. Could be a fluke

Yeah. It does have a backlit keyboard though, so that's nice. I don't think the lack of touchscreen would bother my niece, since doesn't have a tablet format, but I'm not sure. I'm looking for a good college laptop for her, but she does some gaming too, of the type the Ryzen 7 could probably handle.

It has integrated graphics, not discrete. That being said, its graphics capabilities are quite good for an integrated solution, but definitely not sufficient for modern games unless you really lower the resolution and turn down the details.

Hmm, ASUS site doesn't say IPS specifically
15.6" (16:9) FHD (1920x1080) 60Hz Anti-Glare Panel 45% NTSC with wide 178° viewing angles

You could probably get away with Witcher 3 at console quality setting 30fps with it.

It's because there's a shortage of Ryzen 4000 series and they want to put them in more mainstream laptops.
