You can drive two external monitors using the HDMI and miniDP ports. However, the HD Graphics only support mini-DP to D-Sub conversion or direct mini-DP to mini-DP/DP connection. Mini-DP to HDMI or mini-DP to DVI is not supported.
The GPU-Z provides more details:
The PassMark 8 software gives us an estimation of the system;s strengths. You really shouldn't expect any serious performance from an integrated GPU. At both 2D/3D Marks, the HD Graphics is much slower than AMD Nvidia graphics solutions:
The popular FutureMark 3D benchmarks returned the results you see below, which are very low compared with Intel HD 530 / 510 Graphic cards:

As you realize, the Intel Graphics will only allow you to play DX9 games running at medium quality and probably to a resolution lower of 1280x720p.
