Old family laptops are usually very respectable machines overall, everybody should give them more respect and care like you did in this video.

[@TygoDoesStuff]

Absolutely! This is probably the laptop that I care about the most since ive had it since 2016, if I had a display case I would put it on display lol

I Had HP pavilion dv5 1215ee. Had GeForce 9200m GS.

It may show its age but if you upgrade the RAM,change HDD to SSD and a wifi card then it will feel fast like new.

[@TygoDoesStuff]

That would really be the best option for this laptop, but I wanted to keep mine stock, since this was the exact configuration that I used up until 2018

[@matcentrino7602]

I would love to buy another laptops. Aww :'(

[@TygoDoesStuff]

Me too, the last couple of months have actually been pretty dry in terms of used laptops, I only managed to buy one cheap (and very, very beat up) laptop in may, and thats it :(
