I don't find that tool very accurate for laptops. I have a "eh" laptop that runs tf2 at 80fps on high(not highest), and that site claims I shouldn't be able to run tf2 period.

I used to have one with the same crappy integrated graphics card, you'd be surprised what you can actually play with low settings. It can probably play Fallout 3/NV on low settings, but not Skyrim. Pretty much anything pre-2010, excluding stuff like Crysis obviously, as long as you aren't too fussed about amazing framerates. For example mine could do games like Payday 1 and Metro 2033 at about 30fps on low settings... so tolerable.

The specs in the link you posted shows you have intel graphics 4400. This means it probably shares memory from your ram. This could probably play more games then you would think on low settings. I bet you could play any of blizzards games. It will play minecraft and League of legends and lots of indy games. It won't be able to handle anything new that has a lot going on like skyrim. What games are you interested in playing?

Go to your Start menu -> Type 'dxdiag' in the search box and hit enter -> Click "no" when prompted to check for signed drivers
This will open the DirectX Diagnostics tool (looks something like this ), which will give you important details like CPU and RAM. Click on the "Display" tab to see info about your graphics card. Write these three things down and then post them here so we actually know what sort of hardware you have.

You could play Dwarf Fortress

The original Ace of spades used the 1990's voxlap engine which did 100% software rendering. http://buildandshoot.com/
They call it build and shoot now. It will run on your grandma's toaster, and still is verry fun. lots of players too!

I'd go for turn based games. Pick up XCom: Enemy Within (highly recommended!), a Galactic Civilizations title, or FTL. Games like these will probably have the best chance of running well without much compromise (if any).

Since you have a touch screen you should seriously consider Civilization 5 (and possibly Civilisation: Beyond Earth).
Both games run well on my Surface Pro 3 which seems to have specs comparable to yours.
