What are the best games you can play on a laptop? (feddit.org)

I'm looking for titles that will run well on my only computer. Which is a 5-year-old 13" convertible laptop attached to a docking station with a 24" 1920x1080 screen. It's got Intel internal graphics.

For reference, Skyrim runs well on it at 1920x1080 and high settings.

What would you recommend? Mostly interested in open world RPGs.

Specs:
Intel Core i5-10210 (4 cores, 8 threads, 4.2GHz)
8GB LPDDR3 (2133 MHz) RAM
Intel UHD Graphics w/ HDCP support. DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5
shared memory

What specs do you have? A laptop with an i5 10th gen CPU would definitely not be able to run BG3. My older laptop with a GTX 1060 would barely run it over 40fps lowest settings.

It's a surface book 3. I'm out of office at the moment so the comparison is from memory alone, sorry if I was significantly off.

Further wrinkle: I run it from an external SSD.
