Will this laptop be any good for gaming?

It has 8GB of RAM, a 2.16 GHz Intel Celeron N2840 dual-core processor and 1TB of storage. Will it be suitable for gaming (e.g. Left 4 Dead 2, Crysis 3, and indie games like Super Meat Boy, etc)?
Just in case it's relevant, it's a Compaq 15-s108na.
(Sorry for posting such a common type of thread! I don't mean to annoy anyone :/)
 
No sorry to say. The celeron is a pretty weak cpu, its fine for browsing the web and doing simple tasks but a game like crysis 3 would make it cry. And you do not have a dedicated graphics card so you will be relying on the integrated graphics inside the celeron which is nowhere near adequate for modern gaming.
