This question is answered already in the forum guidelines.

The answer there is "Don't ask, integrated graphics are generally not good".

If you want to be serious about gaming you need a decent (not bottom level) dedicated GPU card and it's better to have a desktop than laptop for the lower costs and ease of upgrades.

You'll be able to play some older or lower requirements games on it. Just don't expect much from it.

HD 3000 has about 100-125 GFLOPS if I recall correctly and that's for the desktop version. The laptop version might be lower clocked but has the same top boost as the desktop one as long a temperature permits, so if your laptop gets hot it may throttle and reduce performance.

I'm not aware if there are other difference between laptop and desktop HD 3000 as information on exact performance specs is limited. Laptop might actually be a different lower performing chip released under the same brand name in addition to having lower clockspeeds because it does need to use less power.

If you like I can recommend a desktop tower for the price of a console ($400~) that would do you well for gaming and be comparable performance to PS4 or XB1 new consoles.

No.

Intel's HD 4000 is about 30% over HD 3000. And it still gets trounced by AMD's offerings. Like a boss.

As a general rule: Don't plan to do any gaming on an SoC (system on a chip) processor. Get a discreet GPU and call it a day.

haha srsly ok how about like i dunno $600-$700

Lenovo Y510p if it's ever on sale. Best budget gaming notebook with dual graphics support (SLI configuration) that compete with high end notebooks that are around $1500-2000.

Intel HD is not a graphics card, it's an iGPU, integrated Graphics on the CPU chip. Gaming notebooks come with a decrete video card.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y-series are on-sale.

U generally won't find a better combination of specs in a laptop for what these go for.
