I have tried several games for PCSX2 in my Intel laptop ( Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz with Intel(R) GMA 4500MHD). You could actually run some games very well. Therefore, it's depend on what games that you want to play. Can you list me some of them?
If you're very determined to play games on PCSX2 in that kind of laptop, I'd recommend you to reduce the resolution in the PCSX2's setting. It will work like a charm but the graphic quality can be poor unless if you play in windowed mode instead of full-screen. Games such as Final Fantasy X would probably run very smooth without touching any settings (While, other games may not) in your laptop and it's a good game too. It's been a long time since I've fun with PCSX2 so I may not fully remember some of the settings. But one thing for sure, apart from reducing the resolution in settings, there should be other settings where you can crank up to improve PCSX2 performance in your laptop such as speed hack, software mode and so on. Make sure you try some of my recommendation. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me and other members. Oh, by the way, make sure you're using the latest PCSX2 version where you can find them at their official site or you can try the latest SVN version of PCSX2.
