Daily Usage Today
This device is still usable (models with Intel Core i3) for basic tasks like web browsing and text editing today. It can also run non-resource-intensive games or cloud gaming.
On the other hand, the models with Intel Pentium (rarer) may suffer of lags and stuttering, and are usable only for really basic tasks (web browsing or text editing).
We recommend upgrading the RAM to 8 GB and to switch the mechanical hard drive to an SSD.
This device (i3 variant) will fully work on Windows 11 with proper drivers, but it may have problems with the Pentium.
Downloads
Follow our guide to download and install the drivers (as Sony removed Windows 7 drivers and older).
