While laptops have a convenience factor, environmentally, they are a disaster. It doesn't really mean you must devote a great deal of space to a large server-size tower to bring a stationary PC system home. There are some "too small" ones, of course, but a mini-tower, several versions, or else what is called a "mid-tower", can often be used as a basis for an inexpensive fixed location machine with game playing internal hardware.

Both economically and environmentally, a "desktop" saves you and the planet greatly over the cost of constantly discarding laptops. The reason laptops are so bad, besides the awful keyboards, is they do not allow CPU or GPU upgrades, shortening their useful lives. Recycled, the laptop's rare earth minerals and valuable metals are too difficult to reclaim economically, unlike the case for desktops.

You will either need to exchange the game for something less demanding, or get a much more powerful PC instead of what you have now.

From the official Dragon Age website, the requirements are:

DA: I Minimum PC Specs

    Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 4870 / NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    Graphics Card Memory: 512 MB
    Hard Drive Space: 26 GB
    DirectX 10

Recommended PC Specs

    OS: WIndows 7, 8, or 8.1 64-bit

You cannot compare games using different game engines against each other. DA: I is not using the same engine as DA; O and DA2. Your Intel HD 3000 video chip would not run those two in the fashion they were actually designed to run. It is too slow and too weak.

System Requirements are intended to prevent your type mistake.
