We conducted a survey of the condition of the hardware:

One screen has thumb-size groups of dead pixels on either side of the screen. Possibly this was due to squeezing the screen with too much pressure.

A few batteries have poor performance.

The most common damage to the laptops was torn keyboards.

Teachers were "repairing" the keyboards with scotch tape.
