You might be able to play a few Gamecube games that are not that demanding.
You will just have to try some games and see what runs decent for you at the default resolution.

And you might experience some seriously buggy graphics, like objects not displaying or things like that.

PS: What's the deal with all these people trying to play games with integrated graphics? It's like... well, nevermind...

Laptop GPUs are expensive, at least by relative standards, you only get them with the expensive laptops. At least it used to be that way. And it took a while (until the last year or so) that laptops got halfway decent GPUs at all, even from ATI & NVidia.

Well, if you want to play games, you can't expect to pay a few hundred bucks and get anything decent at all.

Except if you buy a console, and that's exactly the reason why they exist in the first place...

Yeah, if you only want to spend a few hundred bucks, just go buy the console..
