will i be able to run portal 2 on a base 2011 13inch MBP? can i use it with good settings or will it lag too much?
 
In one of the Portal 2 threads in either the gaming section or the main thread I think I saw something about Portal 2 running decently using the Intel 3000. Don't expect it to run on max settings though. Don't take my word for this though as I haven't tried it for myself.
 
Considering getting Portal 2 and I don't think the 13" will have any problems. Portal wasn't a hugely graphics intensive game.
 
I tested the 9400m on a 2.26Ghz C2D and on lowest settings at native res it ranged from 15FPS to 30FPS so with the sandy bridge + the much better Intel HD3000 you'll be fine to play it. Now some settings will probably be at medium if you want native resolution but you'll be good.

LMK if you want a short video of it I uploaded on youtube.
