It seems to me you have an Intel graphics card, these are basically uncapable of playing games.

Even Intels more powerful Core I series cpu/gpu are for "mainstream gaming" and they cant handle the latest games.

Previous generation Intel gpu's on the chipset (that you have) are even more underpowered than that.

Not to mention most laptops are intended for web surfing and dvd playback.

Hope this helps.
