I have an older laptop from ~2018, an Asus Zenbook UX430U. It was quite powerful in its time, with an i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz (4 physical cores and an Intel iGPU), 16GB RAM and an additional NVIDIA MX150 GPU with 2GB VRAM. I think the GPU was intended for CAD applications, Photoshop filters or such - it is definitely not a gaming laptop. I'm using Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop using the iGPU only, leaving the MX150 free for other uses.
