Is My Laptop Good for Light Gaming at Native Res?

I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro - the native resolution is 3200x1800p and 60hz. It has an Intel i7-4500U 1.8Ghz CPU that clocks up to 2.4Ghz and an Intel HD 4400 integrated GPU.

I'm thinking of playing the occasional game on this laptop so I was wondering what it could handle. I could always drop the res to 1080p or something but I was wondering if it is good enough for gaming at its native res (3200x1800p).

I don't intend to play stuff like Metro: Last Light, Battlefield etc on this laptop - I have my desktop for that.

EDIT: I just realized the CPU has a turbo clock of 3Ghz, it was just sitting at 2.4Ghz when I was using it.
 
The Intel HD 4400 is mostly good enough for playing games at 1366x768 or 1600x900 resolution. It is not a very powerful graphics core. You should generally be able to play games with medium or low settings. The more graphically demanding the game the lower resolution and graphics quality you should use. See below link which has some benchmarks
