Integrated means just one gpu
Dedicated means just one gpu
Hybrid means 2 integrated and dedicated
So if you see an Intel UHD 630 and a nVidia rtx 3060 it's hybrid (more common)
Dedicated means just one gpu
Hybrid means 2 integrated and dedicated
So if you see an Intel UHD 630 and a nVidia rtx 3060 it's hybrid (more common)

No.
AMD FirePro was for workstations or work laptops, not very good for gaming.
2 GB VRAM in the card is too small.

I think that CD has mistyped, on #4.
Integrated, means that the CPU is providing the Graphics.
Dedicated, means that there is a Graphics Card.

No i didn't mistype or misspoke. I meant what I said cause you can have both as some cpus don't provide a gpu.

What game(s) are planning to play?
That is very important to know for the minimum hardware requirements.

There are a few High End CPUs, whose 'On-board' Graphics will play Games at an acceptable level but, the cheaper ones are unlikely to be satisfactory.
To get a decent performance one would need a dedicated Graphics Card.

I bought a Chromebook to download Mistplay and Rewarded play. Both were incompatible.
Now I'm replacing it with a Windows Computer so I can download BlueStacks. Download Mistplay and Rewarded Play. Download apps like Raid, Golf Clash, Yatzy. Simple games. Then start over completely with World of Warcraft.
I wouldn't expect to play World of Warcraft the newer version and games like Diablo 4 on a laptop around 350 or under

OK.
Very good.
So then, the most demanding game you have listed is, of course, the World of Warcraft.
See hardware requirements for WoW here:
https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/76459
So you could get away with some laptop that wouldn't cost too much and that hardware could give you lots of gaming enjoyment. Just keep in mind that even for the Recommended Hardware specifications you could go higher.
Now comes the other question I had in mind and that is you want a laptop or really want to have a laptop or instead want a desktop or really want to have a desktop?
Which of these choices do you want to have for the time being now or in the near future?
