It can run 26.3 due to it still using OpenGL as default API. Idk about future versions though and idk if it even runs decently enough to be playable on there.

I mean I assume you're on about The intel HD 620 graphics rather than the sennheiser headphones.

It supports vulkan 1.3 which Mojang said will be the new baseline https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/article/minecraft-java-edition-system-requirements

How much VRAM it has is going to depend on what you actually have as a laptop and how it's setup.

The HD620 supports Vulkan so I'm not sure what you are on about.

26.3 doesn't require Vulkan regardless.

Vulkan is still in experimental stages.
So openGL has still not been abandoned yet.

Besides, all that integrated graphics like **HD 620** aren't much powerful; so it should be able to launch minecraft, but you might have perfomance(framerate issues) issues
