    No gaming. Just internet (but often multiple tabs), some video, Office functions

    Two laptops, both 512 SSD, 16GB RAM, 8th gen i7 w/15.6 touch screens

    One has GeForce MX130, the other Intel UHD620. I know they are both basic low end graphics, but one is 'dedicated' the other 'integrated'

    The GeForce unit is $80 more.

    The only online comparisons/benchmarks I find are gaming comparisons, which don't help much.

    For our use of the machine, is it worth $80 for the slightly better graphic? I'm guessing I'd never see the difference, but.............
