I just got a new laptop, the hardware is decent enough for most games (i5, 4GB RAM, Intel HD gfx) but I want some games I can play for when I don't have a controller or mouse. I'm thinking strategy and sim games, the kind of games where I don't need fast reactions, but really anything that would work well I'm open to.

I have a mouse but I don't always want to sit at my desk, I want to have things I can play on the train or when I'm lying back in bed.

assuming you have a touchpad that still counts as no mouse, i've found games like gnomoria and prison architect to work well with my laptop on my lap. also point-and-click adventure games like the blackwell series. i've also enjoyed card-based games like hearthstone and faerie solitaire. civ v does pretty well too, though not on the highest graphics settings.

Dragon Age Origins. Epic RPG! There is an active pause so u can stop your game at any time and plan next moves easily even using touchpad on laptop. I highly recommend this game to anyone. It's the game that made me love RPG's and I still just can't... just can't find a better one even though I played so many since then (Baldur's, NWN2, Mass Effect, TES M,O,S etc.)
P.S. Well, Witcher got close and it can also be played decently on touchpad.

I bought a laptop recently I and really got into Hearthstone on it. It can be played fluently with only the trackpad, since there's no need for much control. I suggest trying it out even if you're not into card games. It's very fun and addicting.

Well I've played 1000+ hours of skyrim on a laptop with touchpad and had no problems whatsoever. You can easily get used to playing any game really, the only exceptions are the really fast paced shooters, multiplayer games. I recommend the Total War games (anything below Empire Total War) also the Civilization games.

also an usb mouse is literally the cheapest hardware upgrade you can buy on the market :D

No, contrast to what you wrote here, MOST games can run on medium/high settings on his computer because MOST games are indie mini or medium games. I have Intel Series 4, and most of the games in my library run smoothly at high settings.
