    I've recently had the privilege of playing BeamNG on Intel integrated graphics and I can tell you the experience isn't worth it lol :) The minimum GPU for the game (from the steam store) is a Radeon HD 7750 / Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti

    Yes, I understand that you can't play on the integrated graphics, but you understand I want to play on a laptop, no matter where

    You COULD, but expect something like 20 fps on lowest settings on maps like WCUSA.

    It should be possible, and if you're willing to compromise heavily on graphics quality by reducing all graphics settings as much as you can, it should not be as bad. However, what might be a bigger issue is the laptop core i3 processor, which is not a very powerful CPU. (although a new laptop i3 might be rather comparable to my ~7 years old desktop core i5 which runs Beamng just fine). Is this processor a 4-core or a 2-core? I'm not really sure, but regardless, playing without traffic or keeping it to a minimum might be even more important than graphics settings, as each car runs on a separate thread in the CPU. (which is already strained as it runs all the graphics since there is no dedicated GPU).
    I'd recommend trying it out! Just don't get your hopes up. Be sure to report your results back ;)

    Minecraft has no comparability to beamng.
    On a side note i run deskotp AMD integrated graphics. a 5700G to be exact. They get me stable 60 fps on italy with a little better than lowest graphics. But yours is a much lower end cpu, which means it won't have as much threads to process the graphic with. Also, how much ram do you have ? It's very important since it's shared by the cpu and igpu.

    If you can try to upgrade the amount of ram your computer has, 16gb should improve performance. You'd probably want to put the settings to lowest if you want better fps. You should be able to get 30 fps. And it'd probably be better for your hardware too.

    You can increase ram on laptops.

    It would still be better. Then again, you would need to open it and it might be VERY hard to replace.

    On the new Alder Lake chips? Maybe. On AMD? If fitted with integrated graphics, then yes, it's doable. On Rocket Lake and earlier, no.

    I'd get a gaming laptop with a big battery. Modern ones will last long enough on the battery to watch some videos and stuff for a few hours.

    Frequencies are nowhere near as important as they used to be. The ASUS TUF is likely to have a superior core count and includes a dedicated GPU. 45 Wh is a relatively small battery. I'd opt for one with a 66 Wh battery or larger.

    That sounds pretty good. It's about what I get on medium graphics settings with maybe a few AI cars, on WCUSA with my desktop computer, which is, as I said, decent but rather old. So for a laptop, that is not half-bad!
    be sure to keep it cool though
