    you can't change the GPU on non-MXM laptops

    Depends on the game and the quality/resolution you would like to play it in. Newest Intel graphics (HD 3000 and 2000) are able to play some modern games are lower quality/resolution. You should probably fill out this form in the What Notebook Should I Buy? subforum.
