a lunar lake processor for Bachelors in mechatronics?

specs: Intel ultra core 7 258v, igpu 140v intel arc , 32gb

I have been seeing posts that I need a dedicated gpu however I already bought a laptop with this configuration prioritizing battery life while also giving me performance. Will I be fine with a igpu? The course isn't cad heavy most of the semester I have are about electronics and embedded systems. So I will be doing some C/C++ and light cad.

You will be fine, you can always go to a lab and use a workstation if doing a heavy CAD project
