As another has said, adding discrete graphics would increase weight and decrease battery life, going against the idea of a thin and light, hence the word "Go".
I think I read somewhere this does have heat issues, but need to double check on that.
MineCraft with default 40 chunks. This is a game almost any PC can play, some with more chunks (see further) than others. Having 40 chunks is very good game play. I had a world where I raised cows and chickens and sheep and turning to watch them on an older gaming desktop (1060 3GB) that slowed down the game play due to having to render all those moving animals, not this machine.
Deliver us Mars (3D exploration and puzzle solving that involves some keyboard+mouse skills) with 1280*960 windowed resolution and low setting. quite playable but not as detailed compared with playing on an RX 6650 XT on a desktop with epic settings and 1440p. This is a 2023 game that requires discrete video cards. Nice model for hair strands but I didn't attempt it on the laptop. Read the requirements at the bottom:

Eve online (3D space game in which you rotate pan zoom your view a lot) with 1200p and high/custom settings. Decent even though it takes a moment to load graphics when you jump into a star gate which doesn't affect your game play. You can see the requirement for this game is about 1050 ti max-q mobile level as well:

Some of these games are free to play so there is NO reason not trying some of these games and see for yourself how the processor handles games. Admittedly my Dell is bigger in size so more vents and larger fans are assumed. It also comes with a 100W USB-C charger, which is nice.
I didn't try any 2D games assuming they don't require much and also tried strategy game homeworld desert, which plays fine.
Now that I contributed to the thread with some findings, how about those who actually bought this unit tell us something we don't know, instead of feuding who's right who's wrong without sharing first-hand experience? Let's show some tendency to help others decide, cool?
