Daily Usage Today
The machine is perfectly capable of doing many daily tasks e.g. web browsing, 1080p YouTube playback, document processing and even can run some 2000s games without much issue thanks to its top-end spec at the time and high RAM ceiling. Sadly the graphics card cannot be upgraded so it could not handle modern power-hungry applications e.g. Photoshop and Lightroom, but it still has plenty of power to do the daily stuff mentioned above.
This machine can run Windows 10 without issue, but be aware that drivers from NVIDIA websites will not install on this machine at first (being a typical VAIO issue). You will need to follow the guide to edit the INF file in order to let the driver install correctly. Apart from that, everything runs smoothly on Windows 10, especially if you install an SSD (or even 2 for RAID 0 crazy speeds) to this machine.
If your machine has the Blu-ray drive (if it works), this is your ultimate All-in-one Blu-ray player as you will be amazed by its high-quality display and great speakers!
