Hi, It will probably play them, but at what settings is another thing. Having said that, I have a laptop with an i3 3110 prcessor and integrated graphics and have played Oblivion on it at medium settings. Stuff like The Witcher 3, that I am playing now, may be a bit much for it. There are some pretty good rigs out there and The games are using them more and more. I just upgraded to the i7 6700K and the integrated 530 Graphics are pretty darned good, but I am using an EVGA 980 Dedicated card. If you have a Dedicated garphics package in that then, it should be helpful and give you a little more flexibility in what you can play.

2GB VGA does not tell us anything.

That could be a 2gb 960m or could just be "up to 2gb" to program for integrated graphics. The difference between the 2 is plays on medium-high @ 1080p all the way down to it wont play at all because it is bellow minimum specs.

I can tell you that the CPU being a U series is only a dual core and designed for battery performance first, and processing performance second.

I cant specify the graphics card since i am buying it online and they only metioned these details.
But i think its the integrated graphics.
if the graphics card doesn't measure up to at least Nvidia GeForce GTX 880M , im going to custom build my laptop

This is true. "U" says it is a dual core, but being that it is an i7, it has HT, giving you 4 virtual cores. Although the Integrated graphics package is better than what I have on the i3, it still won't handle some of the stuff I have been playing. From all I could find, that appears to be the only graphics option. That also means that it is shared RAM, but depending on where you look it comes with either 6 or 8 Gb of RAM ( Mostly 8 Gb.). It is more or less an entry level lap top.

Lenovo G50-80 laptops relies on the integrated Intel graphics core.

It is Integrated graphics. There are laptops with dedicated graphics and specifically built for gaming, but they can get pricey. As for custom building a laptop, I won't say that it can't be done, as I know somebody that has done it, but for the most part, it isn't done. They are not like desktops. You have very little room to work with and it would be very expensive, even if you coud find the parts, which is unlikely.
