But with an office computer?
To be fair, they probably have an i5-8250U or i5-8265U (hence the 8 CPUs) and while their base clock is only 1.6GHz their turbo clock is ~3.6-3.7GHz under 4 core loads. Intel's latest 4c/8t mobile offerings have unsuspectingly low base clocks and then fairly competitive turbo clocks as far as mobile CPUs go. The problem is keeping them cool enough to actually be able to perform at those turbo clocks (i.e. put on a coat and long pants and crank AC down to 58F or open a window in the winter).
The main issue is going to be the lack of a discrete GPU and RAM. The 620 UHD relies on system RAM and with only 8GB, it's probably a single 8GB stick and so it's using single channel (64-bit memory interface). That means the IGP will perform in the range of a GT 720M or GeForce 920M. And that is ignoring the fact that B:AK requires at least 12GB to run smoothly on Win 10, even without an IGP stealing 2GB of it to use as VRAM.
With 2x8GB DDR4-2400 SO-DIMMs installed (dual channel, 128-bit memory interface), the same exact IGP can perform more like a GT 745M /GeForce 945M and while not offering stellar performance, that's still a big difference and somewhat impressive for an IGP.
In OP's case of likely only having a single stick of RAM:
Or more accurately, only at 600p or 720p resolution and low/everything off to get any kind of even slightly playable FPS (25-35 is probably all they can hope for and with stutters due to only having 6GB of RAM usable).
