Question [Buying advice] Should we in December 2021 consider buying a laptop with Intel UHD Graphics 620 integrated cards?

Hi,

Should we in December 2021 consider buying a laptop with Ultra HD Graphics 620 integrated cards?
Or should we absolutely buy Iris XE considering the technology leap.

Iris XE seems to be until 4 times better than UHD Graphics 620: https://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-UHD-Graphics-620-Mobile-Kaby-Lake-R-vs-Intel-Iris-Xe/m320744vsm1268515

For instance I am wondering if I should choose a very good laptop with great battery from last year (Dell Latitude 5410) at reduced price:

Or a dell Vostro

My usage will be programming, home cinema and browsing Internet. I want a laptop which will be most durable (built quality and evolution).

Cheers,
S.

did that 5410 have the 768p screen?

@rgd1101 thx,
Vostro has 1080p screen.
Latitude can have both 768p and 1080p but I would definitely take 1080p option here,

since the cpu can't be upgrade. personally would get laptop with the 11th gen instead of the 8th
