Is this good enough to play those free Steam games we gathered from RFD and stream 1080p/Netflix?

Upgradeable RAM - confirmed it has 2 DIMM slots for ram per this thread: amazon-ca-hp-14-dq2010ca-14-pentium-gol ... #p35028465

Don't let the budgetness of the CPU fool you; Passmark single thread rating is 2307 vs 2565 for the Ryzen 7 PRO 4750u, though gets trounced in multithreading due to the ryzen having 8 cores vs 2 cores for the pentium. Still, even with 2 cores the pentium 7505 beats in single threading and matches in multithreading a 85W quad core Core i5-4670 (which I still run and is fine performance wise for just about everything except 1440p gaming)

Not too shabby for a budget machine! I usually advise getting thinkpads, but this is excellent bang for your buck for performance over an older refurb machine.

It can easily stream all 1080p video and play older games. I have this laptop and it's very fast given the price, even with 4GB RAM, i didn't both with the RAM upgrade yet. Build quality is so so but that's expected given the price.

Would this be good for a teacher to use in her classroom? Seems like it.

I can't find it, can it charge via USB-c?

No, from [Amazon.ca] HP 14-dq2010ca 14" Pentium Gold 7505, 4/128 GB, IPS FHD - $306

It's decently fast even with the stock 4GB RAM, under Windows 10.

Screen and keyboard are mediocre, as would be expected at this price.

Very good deal at $305ish.

I know people are looking at this as a weak laptop, but I think I should point out that if you are looking to get into the Plex server world, these Pentium Gold (especially a new 7505) are basically perfect for it.

Integrated Intel GPU with QuickSync can handle numerous simultaneous transcodes with minimal CPU utilization.

Only thing is you could probably find an off lease USFF PC with almost the same specs, for cheaper. For example, I got a HP Pro Desk with a similar CPU for about 145 CAD, but that's getting off topic as this is a thread for a laptop.
