Intel Iris XE Graphics compatibility

[tenchijin2]

Hi,
I'm way behind the curve on this stuff. I am looking to do a full HDX upgrade from Pro Tools 12, but this will also mean replacing my PC with a laptop.
I'm looking at this one from Dell:

I'm not certain the chipset is right but it probably is. However it's the low-end graphics card that has me concerned. Is this going to work?

My plan is to get one of the HDX core PCIe cards with the thunderbolt module (since I can't install it on the laptop directly)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,

I really don't know for sure, but I'm guessing it would work - I've never had any issues with standard video cards at least.

Here's an article you should probably look at to research it further:

Pro Tools System Requirements and Compatibility

1. Graphics should be ok. Pro Tools is not really a graphics hog like some video edit or gaming apps can be.
2. You might want to up the CPU cache to 24Mb: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/lapt...15-9510-laptop
