Vlog - Verifying this HP branded i5 10th gen laptop with i915 graphics (holy shit it's REAL bad)

A friend of mine wanted me to verify things were working on it, since they intend to borrow it for a gig when it happens (mobile performance).

The type-C port is fucked, and shorts out when using it, including being wobbly. Easily repaired at a shop. The other standard USB ports are fine.
The 1TB seagate drive is failing, so the OS gives up detecting it after five attempts. That is easy to replace.
Graphics however, nothing higher than 848x480 will play back without severe frame-dropping. No good if using graphically accelerated applications. Youtube or netflix will flunk on quality.
The webcam built into the screen, regardless what resolution is selected (174x144 to 1280x720), is stuck at 2 frames per second. So much for using it for video calling, however would be great for recording timelapses (tape laptop to a window with it plugged in).
