Hello, I wanna know if my laptop is low-end or medium-end or high-end.

So, I have a laptop called XPS 13 2-in-1 and it has good performance, (Only hangs a little bit when starting it) It has a Intel (R) i7-6500 processor and it has a Intel 520 display card and has a Nvidia 940MX graphics card. It also has 8GB of ram, is 64 bit and has touch support. (It's also foldable) Now I don't know if it's low-end or medium-end or high-end so if anyone knows, please tell in the comments.

For what workload?

For gaming that is low end. Mainly because of weak graphics subsystem.
For productivity that is low to mid-range.

Oh! Thanks! Well, knew it that it was low-end because whenever I played a game like Roblox, Fortnite or X-Plane 11 It was so laggy Roblox is fine at high graphics like kinda fine but not Fortnite or X-Plane 11 they are not that good on my laptop.

It would be a lower end gaming laptop but still decent. I would make sure the GTX 940M driver is up to date (from Nvidia), scan for viruses/malware and make sure everything is up to date. You can also go into the Nvidia Control Panel and force the system to use the GTX instead of the iGPU as well however this may affect how long the battery will last. One last thing I would do is make sure the battery performance is set to "high performance" when plugged in as this may help a little bit with gaming performance.

While a 940MX is kind of low-end for running more demanding games, it is still better than Intel's integrated graphics, and I would expect it to run something like Fortnite reasonably well, provided you reduce the settings and resolution to some extent.

Do you happen to know what resolution the screen is on the laptop? Based on the page you linked to, it appears to come in 1920x1200 and 3840x2400 (4K) versions. The 4K version might offer sharper text and graphics in desktop apps, but that resolution is far too high for running most modern games on nearly any laptop, so if you have that screen, you would definitely want to go into settings for your games and lower the resolution to something like 1920x1200 or 1280x800 (or a resolution around those values).

Even if you have the 1920x1200 screen, you might want to try lowering the resolution in games, or adjusting the resolution scaling to reduce resolution while keeping the interface sharp, in games that provide that option. For example, in Fortnite, you could optionally change the "3D resolution" to something like 75% or 50% to reduce load on the graphics at the expense of making the visuals a bit blurrier. And of course, you should try lowering the other settings as well, though you can probably keep some settings like texture quality and view distance turned up.

Also, you should plug in the laptop's charge cable before you start gaming if you want optimal performance, as often laptops will switch to the slower integrated graphics hardware when on battery power to increase their run-time.
