Is the Lemur better or Framework 13 a better fit for gaming?

I’m not triple a gaming, but playing up to like, Skyrim would be nice.

EDIT: Thanks for the replies everyone! I read them all and upvoted you all because they were truly helpful.

Looks like FW is the clear winner! I also use GIS software for work stuff/self teaching and so graphics capabilities are pretty important for me.

Thanks again everyone, y’all are the best!

My brother bought a Framework 16 recently with the discrete GPU on my recommendation and it was not silly pricing. Mobile workstations with discrete graphics and comparable specs in that size class were all $2000USD or more and the Framework was maybe 15% higher. Well worth it for the intentional repairability and upgradability.

I have a 16 with a discrete GPU. Couldn't recommend it more. It does sound like a rocket ship sometimes, but performs like a midrange tower, which is exactly what I wanted.
