Is DOTA 2 playable on Intel Core i3-4010U (ThinkPad X240)?

I searched the web to see how DOTA 2 performs on Intel HD graphics family, unfortunately I rarely saw any satisfying review, so I decided to write one by myself with my own computer. This review is rather simple: just to confirm if DOTA 2 is playable on Intel Core i3-4010U (because right now I only have a notebook with Core i3-4010U).

A quik look at the specs of my notebook (ThinkPad X240)
  • Processor    Intel Core i3-4010U
  • Graphics     Intel HD graphics 4400 
  • Memory      4GB
  • OS              Wingdows 7
Some screenshots are given below. The game is run under full HD resolution (1920*1080) with 'fastest' render settings.

As can be seen (right top of the corner), FPS varies under different situation. Nevertheless, we can say it's playable even though in real battle the performance may be affected by more complex team fight. But in my personal experience, it is playable in a formal battle.
