That Intel® HD Graphics 3000 chipset will struggle handling "Low" graphic settings on most applications.
Laptops are never good for gaming, but, read step 5 for a solution for that.
1) They overheat a lot on excellent graphic settings (High)
2) They usually have a processor-based onboard graphics chip that's trash for all games out in the market today
3) All Intel Intel® HD Graphics chips in general are cheap as ever and won't run today's demanding applications.
4) You'll always lag with this graphics chip on all games.
5) If you want a laptop to play games on, be sure it at least has an AMD or Nvidia-based Graphics Card already built into the machine.
AMD or Nvidia cards are dedicated components meant for graphic processing (Gaming, Video/Photo Editing, CAD design, Graphic Design, etc). These are the laptops you want. The ones that have these cards in them. Not Intel chipsets.
