The laptop’s graphics are the onboard Intel Iris Xe graphics. For its day, it was known for good performance (for an integrated graphics solution) in everyday computing and light tasks. Its certainly not designed for gaming. This is confirmed by the following tests.

The HP laptop’s 61 frames per second might appear reasonable, but 800×600 is a pitifully low resolution that no gamer is going to be happy with. I re-ran the benchmark at a more respectable 1920×1080 resolution.
The HP laptop is definitely not suitable for anything other than extremely light gaming.
I also ran glmark2, an OpenGL 2.0 and ES 2.0 benchmark on the laptop. Here are the results. The laptop was using Wayland (not X11).
