How should this system be performing, gaming wise?

Dell Laptop
Intel i7 8550 1.80 ghz
16GB DDR4 Ram
Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Nvidia MX150 gpu

My main bone of contention is Player Unknowns Battlegrounds and this isn't my Laptop but one of my squadmates. He can't get a consistent fps even if he plays on 720p and occasionally it even drops to single figures.

Now I know it's not a beast of a laptop but I've seen people get 30 frames on 1080p at least, is something else wrong with it maybe? I know many people seem to be having issues with PUBG at the moment but not this bad.

He can't afford to upgrade or anything so any steps to help this would be appreciated.

Find the exact model of the laptop and search for it to find some info on it.
For a general guidline, below 80 should be ok. Keep in mind that every laptop has different hardware thermal design and artificial power / temperature...

He's tracked the temps and he says they seem ok, I've unfortunately not been on hand with his laptop but I don't know enough in the first place. He'll literally take 720p 30fps but he's playing 720 and it's going to 50, right down to 3 or 4 fps and consistently too. I do think there's something amiss, even if the GPU is weak.

Could you please recommend the best software to measure temps and what those temps should be on this system?

For a general guidline, below 80 should be ok. Keep in mind that every laptop has different hardware thermal design and artificial power / temperature limits applied to the CPU and GPU, and temperature results should vary from one laptop to another. So there isn't a general optimal temp for the MX150
