Integrated graphic cores (iGPUs) do not have their own dedicated RAM. They rely on using the RAM installed in the laptop. 4GB of RAM is not a lot to be shared by Windows, the game, and the iGPU. It will definitely lower performance because Windows would need to constantly swap data between the RAM and hard drive while playing games or using any programs that requires a lot of RAM. 4GB of RAM can also cause games to crash simply due to a lack o resources that swapping data cannot resolve.
