Maybe on medium or low, given you only have Intel 3000 graphics which is about 1GB.

With integrated graphics, and 6 GB of RAM, I'd say on low to not at all. Maybe if you lowered your resolution...

What if I upgraded to 8GB of RAM? Would it make much of a difference?

Also, how would it play average Steam games (Battlefield 3, Portal, Half-Life 2, Skyrim, and GTA 4 or 5)?

RAM is not the answer. Laptops really aren't designed for this type of work.

Yeah, if you want to run games well on a laptop you need to buy one with a dedicated graphics card, RAM will only increase boot times and speed overall, not your game graphics.

Would there be a tremendous amount of lag, or how well would they run?

You would have to run them on lowest settings and even then they would probably lag

Could you suggest a decent laptop for under $500 to play those games at 25+ Fps?

It's kinda strange that my laptop plays Minecraft at medium settings with a 16x16 texture pack at 70-90 Fps. Hmmm

MC at 16x16 is not hard to run and not as GPU intensive as other games. Under 500 is a very tight budget to play those titles. I suggest saving some more money and buying a PC in the 600-800 range.

If you want a gaming laptop, you shouldn't purchase one for less than about $1000. A desktop is much more reasonable, and a better choice.

Agreed, a desktop will serve you much longer as you can easily upgrade almost anything in it. If you are at a budget and you want to play Black Ops 2, as much as it pains me you should buy a PS4 or a Xbox One.
