Arc 130v performs less consistently and generally a bit slower than the 780M, and should probably be compared to a Steam Deck for potential performance. If you're willing to lower the resolution to 720p / 800p, you can probably play most games in low-med. Some older games will actually perform well, but you'll be held back by Intel's drivers and architecture which doesn't do great with DX9 / DX10 games, usually requiring a translation layer to make it playable with a performance penalty. When a game is supported well by the drivers, it can perform similarly to the 780m, but when support is poor... you might as well forget playing that game until Intel releases a fix, if ever. The good news is that Intel has indeed been improving game support over the past couple years, with the Arc GPUs being in a much better place than they were even last year.

The screen really is washed out for watching videos but fine for browsing, office stuff.

This is an ENTRY LEVEL PC? This thing seems to have insane specs aside from the 45% color gamut. Obviously not a gaming laptop, but it's not trying to be that anyway. Funny how 10 years ago the specs could be a third of these and it would have been considered high-end.

FWIW Allstate gave me a brand new 75" OLED TV almost no questions asked. #Context
I've been here for 18 years
There hasn't been a single laptop deal where some numbnuts hasn't claimed that it's 'only good for email and browsing'
I just ignore them now

I didn't even say entry level PC. I swear, people look for reasons to be triggered in these comments. I hope you read my post before passing judgement upon it. You'll find it's a carefully worded, accurate summary.
Picking a single game's benchmarks and drawing wide ranging conclusions about gaming prowess is a bad idea, unless your use case is very, very specific. I'm all for Intel and want them to succeed as a legitimate 3rd player in the GPU war, but I also do my best to not put my head in the sand.
