Depends on the cpu i'm pretty sure. I'm assuming the dual core i5 2410M in my laptop with hd3000 graphics is less powerful than a desktop model, but my laptop can run all the valve games (tf2 L4d2 Portal2) pretty well at 1366X768. It can't run gta4 at all, however. It also should depend on your ram since it is shared as graphics memory. I have 6Gb in my laptop. I don't own any of the other games, but I'd say my laptop wouldn't be able to run Deus EX or Dirt 3.
 
Well my Q965 Express IGP (PCIe socket dead-waiting on new mobo)
can run Need For Speed Carbon 2006 at 1280x1024 medium settings
and the Q965 is OLD (2006)

you really need a video card
minimally a HD 6770 or GT 450
if your case can fit it
and your PSU can handle it

Sorry :(

thanksfor your reply.
it's actually Sony VAIO E Series VPCEH15EN with 2nd gen. core i3 processor. so i dont think it'll run. what do you say?
 
This made me check out docking stations and port replicators to see if there was
any kind of graphics solution but now
You can add multiple monitors to a laptop that way.
Thinking about it if there no way to direct feed the video from the motherboard
Notebook graphics are almost always embedded into the motherboard
meaning they would have to be unsoldered to remove
Sorry :(
