Install some temperature monitoring software. Speccy has decent monitoring software. Check to see how hot the laptop runs.

Also, check your power settings to see if you are lagging due to power save features that are enabled to conserve power.

Check your power settings and check in "advanced" to see if your computer is set to turn off components to save power.

I would also run the "Intel Driver Update Utility" and update any drivers that need to be updated, chipset or graphics (just in case): http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect

The VGA graphics adapter is only needed when you plug into an external monitor, so ignore that for the time being and try to figure out why your games keep lagging.
