VPCEH
Summary
The Sony VAIO VPCEH are a series of mid-high-range notebooks (models with Intel Core) and mid-low-range (models with Intel Pentium) released by Sony between October 2011 and February 2012.
Medium range of the VPCE series, they have a 15.5" display with a 1366x768 resolution.
Sony made many variations of this notebook, with Intel Pentium, Core i3 or i5, and with Intel or NVIDIA graphic cards.
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.
These laptops were sold almost globally.
Made mostly of plastic and available in white, black, blue, or pink (rarer and limited in some markets), their strengths are the 2nd Gen Intel Core i3 or i5 processor, their NVIDIA GPU (only available in certain models) and the large lithium-ion battery (optional).

Daily Usage Today
This device (if equipped with Intel Core i3 or i5) is still usable for basic tasks like web browsing and text editing today. It can also run non-resource-intensive games (models with NVIDIA graphics) or cloud gaming.
On the other hand, the versions with Intel Pentium may suffer of lags, and they're advised only for very basic tasks like text editing or basic web surfing.
We recommend upgrading the RAM to 8 GB (if not already equipped) and to switch the mechanical hard drive to an SSD.
This device will fully work on Windows 11 with proper drivers, but it may have stability and stuttering problems if equipped with Intel Pentium.
