Haven't kept up much lately, is there much difference gpu performance wise if the wife wants to use this to play games like XCom 2, Age of Wonders, etc? Also, could she play a bit of Satisfactory with this GPU?
{EDIT: Versus the ones with Intel Iris Xe? Sorry.}

I bought this laptop this year and love it. I only wish it was slightly more durable. I kind of sat down really quickly on my couch with it landing on my lap, and the little plastic cover on the bottom had one of the clamps buckle. I looked for a replacement cover but I recall it just not being worth the cost. I'm personally a fan of this series

Bit of a tough sell for gaming. the MX330 won't get you very good performance, even on relatively low-intensity games like XCOM. Though the laptop's beautiful, and that screen is a treat to use, I'd aim for something with a 1650 GPU at least. Shouldn't be hard to find on sale in that price range still.

Okay, I figured as much but she needs a 2-in-1 for portability purposes, Seems like the 1650's start at $2k and above, will take a look around some more though, thanks!
I did spent some time to compare those two:
1. GPU wise, mx330 is slightly faster than Iris plus, but not much
2. Build quality: not much difference between those two lines, they both are good quality
3. 4k screen probably will be better on 15 inch screen, but Yoga is lighter
4. Yoga has a place to put pen in, HP does not
Since I already have Yoga, I was debating if I should get this, but in the end not worth the trouble.
I think the other HP Envy 360 13 inch deal is worth considering if one want to save some money.

Laptop with 1650 will be more expensive, heavier and runs hotter.

Thank you for detailed information, I am waiting for yoga to come down a little to bite it

I believe HP spectre is a premium series and any time better than Lenovo
