Unfortunetly anything older than the GTX10xx mobile series is cheap cut down models that doesnt come anywhere close to their desktop counterpart. Same thing with these i7 ultra low power chips, they’re just a stripped desktop i3 with HT enabled (ie 2c/4t, not 4c/8t like desktop i7 or higher end laptop i7)
It shouldnt perform terrible since it do have discrete graphics (try playing WvW on a Surface 2 Pro and you’ll experience terrible) but I wouldnt expect any miracles. GW2 should be ok-ish.
