	This unit is definitely still usable today, as most units have decent Core 2 Duo processors. For office tasks like word documents and presentations it will definitely still be usable. Watching YouTube should work fine at 720p. We recommend installing an SSD, upgrading the RAM to 8GB and installing a lightweight ~~Linux distribution~~ such as ~~AntiX~~ or using an older Windows OS such as Windows 7. The optional 9300M GS is only capable of playing older games at low settings, but can play early 2000s games e.g Half Life with ease.

Watching YouTube should work fine at 720p. We recommend installing an SSD, upgrading the RAM to 8GB and installing Linux with a lightweight desktop environment and window manager, such as XFCE and XFWM or using an older Windows OS such as Windows 7.

	The Sony VAIO VGC-JS was a low-mid end desktop All-In-One released by Sony in 2008. It was meant for people who people who didn't want to clutter up their desk with a desktop PC, but wanted more screen size than a laptop. It was praised by reviewers for looking "attractive" and having relatively good performance for its price. In the UK it was possible to get one for a sub-£640 price-tag. For that, one got a 20.1in display with the usual 1,680 x 1,050 resolution, with decent specifications including a 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo, 500GB hard drive, 3GB of RAM and Intel GMA X4500HD graphics (VGC-JS1E). Most models came with a DVD-RW drive, but some later and higher end ones came with BluRay drives. It was powered by a typical Sony 19.5V power adapter, due to it not having space for a PSU inside.
