How does the Intel Iris Xe Graphics perform for everyday tasks?

For everyday tasks like web browsing, office applications, video playback, and light photo editing, Intel Iris Xe Graphics are more than capable. They provide a smooth visual experience for these common uses.

What is the aspect ratio of the display, and why is it beneficial?

What security features are included?
