Yes but that’s generally true for low end laptops. They may not always have unified memory on a soc in the Intel world but they don’t get a discrete GPU with its own memory.
The A18 is the previous gen iPhone’s chip. So the target audience is people who could do their work on a phone but want a bigger screen and a keyboard. For people who use the current cheap iPad (A16 with 6 GB) it’ll be an upgrade.
