Summary

The Sony VAIO VPCEK are a series of mid-low-range notebooks released by Sony between October 2011 and February 2012.

Low range of the VPCE series, they have a 14" display with a 1366x768 resolution.

This notebook is very rare, because it wasn't released globally and were not available in most regions of Europe.

With this notebook (and the VPCEL), Sony decided to use an AMD CPU with integrated GPU, that wasn't very powerful, but reliable and power efficient.

They can be easily recognised thanks to their diamond pattern, shared with the entire E series of late 2011 and early 2012, in the area near the trackpad and in the back of the screen.

Made mostly of plastic and available in white or black, their strengths are the low power consumption of the AMD CPU, their integrated AMD GPU, and the large lithium-ion battery (optional).
