- This Sony VAIO PCG-61711w is the greenest laptop I have ever seen. Perfect for all things Shrek and Minecraft! (Yes I am just writing that because it technically counts as tags for the videos yeehaw)

This comment is here for literally no reason, you are wasting your time reading this, now shoo
Bruh shoo
why did u scroll here
@@sparktheprotogenSTPgive me my 1 minute back
@@sparktheprotogenSTP i did not loose time because i watch the damn vid lmao
@@sparktheprotogenSTPIf I comply, it looks like you are being a jerk.
It's a green nugget lol.
Somewhere, Dankpods is smiling uncontrollably and he can't figure out why why.
That place probably being a short distance from frokfrdk.
i had the exact laptop in white. The vaio button opens the the viao support app.The much more interesting button is the web button which launched a custom chrome-os like linux distro in about 10 seconds even when the system was turned off
It did that?????
instantly recognized this button, because of these videos xd

Oh that was similar to that InstantON that many laptops of that time had.
@@frokfrdk to browse the web, yes. It is a basic web browser, with some network control functions
Cathode Ray Dude has a whole series on a bunch of these little fast-boot OSes, it's pretty cool
Sony Management: "Environmentally friendly stuff sells well, I want you to make a real green laptop, you know like green all around so we are on top of the game!"
Sony Engineers: "Here you go!"
Sony Management: "But that's no..."
Sony Marketing: "Already sold out!"
xD
Bro with Scarlet fire playing in the background at 6:40 dankpods would be happy if he found this.
I freakin' love how green that laptop is. I love colorful tech in general. I like the white/grey/black tech as well, but it's nice to have an option for more colorful stuff.
Especially colourful translucent tech
@@frokfrdk Yeah! That's good stuff for sure.
@@TheNightquaker im a sucker for old colorful (translucent) tech my favorite ever might be the imac g3
with dankpods taking a break, thank you for making this content
Some feedback about the hard-drive/SSD thing. I feel that for videos it's better to use SSDs in the laptops, to show their full potential in terms of performance. SSDs make a world of difference even for older computers. Or should I say, especially for older computers.
And if you'll be selling the laptop later, you could always remove the SSD and put in a hard drive.
My thoughts exactly as soon as I saw he was not putting an SSD in it.
i mean i think if he's actually going to use it after the video an ssd makes sense, otherwise might as well use an old hdd that's in a box.
@@nooneinpart fair enough
@@nooneinpart I used to have Windows 10 on a HDD from 2005. I would press the power button, go to toilet, come back, enter my password, go to drink water and then I would come back to use it. Sometimes even right clicking would lag.
Ngl, it’s good to be reminded about HDD’s performance to realize how good we got it now, even with EMMC lol. I forced windows 11 into a windows 8 era Toshiba for “fun” yesterday and let’s just say it took most of the day to update and is borderline unusable.
why was the ram running at 20,000mhz lmao
My mom has an transparent purple laptop from 2008 it still works well
oh that sounds superrr cool
Nice Video! The OpenGL issues with Minecraft on Windows 7 are caused by bad drivers, the one that Windows 7 downloads/has built-in are pretty limited and mostly just work for Aero and stuff like that, they are very inoptimal for gaming tho. You should have just downloaded the drivers from AMDs site or some other place.
I did that and still nothing worked, it was days of just tryna troubleshoot this
@@frokfrdkyou need to set javaw.exe to run on the dedicated gpu in order for minecraft to run. If thats not enough, the amd drivers are pretty modable, you can swap the opengl dll driver with one from a more recent version, I was able to run DOOM 2016 with that
And if minecraft still refuses to run on the amd, you should swap the driver with and older one that lets you fully swap to dedicated graphics, even aero is run on the amd then but I think for that to work you need a BIOS update
This channel is great. I’ve never seen you before but you could be the new Dankpods lol
i love the dankpods reference when he opens the win7 book lmao
Awsome to see this nice VAIO, i have actually the same one in basicially mint condition and even a green VAIO mouse. My brother is using this model in orange which also looks stunning and upgraded it to an i7 2620m and 16GB RAM. There are actually 2 versions of this line VPCCA (the one you have, with a bad ~14 inch 1366x768 screen) and the VPCCB with a really really nice 15.6 inch 1080P screen but those 2 models have different color schemes (so no green or orange with 1080P screen sadly). Also a nice fact for the backlit keyboard, the backlight only kicks on when the room is dark
I have a VPCCA that came with a beautiful 1600x900 panel, I could overclocked it up to 90Hz
@@ponjadito23 Oh that's interesting, is the Panel glossy or not?
@@denist.8058 It is
i remember seeing a bright barbie pink one of these for like 30 bucks converted. Had a 2nd gen core i3 in it. I haven't bothered to get it tho, and now i regret it, but only slightly.
Vaio laptops were a beautiful mess, and bloatware and proprietary software is what killed them.
I had the exact laptop in white as well🔥 it was the coolest tech I've ever owned.👌😍
Dude green is my favorite number! 💚
i have a very similar one that’s bright orange. would never have used it back in the day, but it’s so unique
I am watching this on my Lime green VAIO VPCEA3L1E. Mine came with recovery DVD-s so i can use all that useful bloatware SONY provided.
1:03 that laptop reminds me of the book G3 clamshell days because they had a lot of colors
Huh, I have a fairly similar model. A Sony VPC1J1E, with a black structured diamond design. Had the same issues finding drivers as Sony stopped hosting them since march 2023, but found them eventually
came for the color stayed for the random stuff you spat out while speaking lol
Finally, a worthy successor to the EeePeeCee
I loved my Sony vaio bought back in 2013 sve1523cn, such a well built laptop
This is going into dankpods territory
I bought the 17" version of this off FB marketplace. Installed Endeavour OS on it. Runs great and does everything I need it to. I even started watching DVDs again!
This looks like a laptop Dank Pods would like lol
he said in one of his vids that he did have one, I think it was in a video on the Apple silicon macbooks
Oh yeah you're right it's in the first few seconds of the video!
Watching this vid from my Fit 14A, the 2 in 1 version of the fit. SONY's vaio products were always too ahead of their time. They made nano pc's almost 20 years before GPD and the steam deck made them cool. They made the Flip series of reversible laptops which I still believe are the best way of making a 2 in 1 laptop/tablet, even though it is sometimes fragile. Too bad new VAIO laptops' best selling gimmick is the 3D printed carbon fibre body, which while it is probably the most space-tech thing on a laptop now, it is still not as ground breaking as their old woes. I'd still buy a new one though, even if it is just to get a laptop that doesn't fall apart like this old Fit.
G R E E N 💚💚💚
Best color
Id recommend a srcond 4gb ram stick, two 8gb memes wouls also be great. Technically that laptop could be upgraded to a 2nd gen quad core i7 (QM) but the cooler and vrm would likely not be happy.
Finding this channel is fun, id love to make content like this someday. As you dive into the rabbit hole it will be fun to see the quality improve!
Can you do another video using an OEM Windows 7/8.1 VAIO installer?
It looks like windows wasn't able to pick up the dedicated AMD graphics the system is supposed to have.
Maybe next time you should go to the Internet Archive to get an OEM build. I found a windows 7 build with all the Vaio software. The windows 8.1 Sony Vaio OEM should also have the necessary drivers for this specific computer. A lot of these computers had nearly identical hardware from the transition of 7 to 8, so the OEM builds usually come with drivers compatible with the slightly older hardware.
I would make the video myself, but I don't have a beautifully green laptop. ;)
GREEN💚
This looks exactly like my old Portable DVD Player
Man when i was kid, saw this update 14:33 I was like Oh No I am going to be stuck for hours because of this stupid update..😭😭
first time seeing an installer go backwards
I highly desire a computer that intensely green.
17:22 That was so unexpected it scared the shit out of me
We need this man to send this laptop to @DankPods so he can use it "like ya grandmum taking a picture of it to put on gumtree" in his videos
This is why i loved vaio's, they always looked so damn cool.
I had a 2010 vaio E series with first gen i5 + radeon 5000M dedicated , and a 2013 vaio se series with i5 2430M + radeon 6470M dedicated and matt ips screen back in the day.
If you have problems with drivers, use Driver Booster. It has really helped me over the years, and it works in windows 7. Just one thing: uninstall it after updating / downloading all drivers, as its quite bothersome with pop-ups
ive heard good things about snappy driver installer origin, its open source and has no pop ups afaik
The web button turns the Vaio laptop into a linux web based os, the assist button help with resetting it to the factory os like windows 7. It will also help download whatever it is supposed to have but viao was a very messy laptop, the fans are SUPER LOUD, problems happen alot, and ALOT of bloat ware from Sony
Never seen this laptop before , actually i really want one and upgrade it. I love neon green
SSD should be the route... Even for resale. Performances are so much better. Also installing takes a lot less time.
This laptop is so nicee
I had one of these. Was the first time I bought a laptop I could play games on.
I can confirm that the laptop has layers
made it trough that part of the video!💚💚💚
"you got.......... its GrAy"
DankPods has to be proud of this work of art
Damn i remember those. When i was a kid i wanted the orange one
Doing the thing at 14:42 made the thing at 16:06 happening.
A friend of mine hat to reinstall at the time Win Vista because at 62 updates in progress he purged the battery
27:57 That looks so cool.
now that the EEEEPEEECEEE is dead, @Dankpods would love to have this
Colourful stuff is the best. I've managed, initially through coincidence, and finally on purpose, to avoid bland coloured laptops for years, went purple, blue and back to purple again :D
6:43
S C A R L E T F I R E ! !
I have this laptop, bought it from an old lady who barely used it! Mine still has the Sony Vaio software overlay.
Finally, *DankBook*
10:36 I suggest putting an antivirus on there ether AVG or Avast. One of them supports very old Windows OSs
I sure do love listening to my webcam driver.
That thing is amazing why have I not seen this thing anywhere else!
Hey I have that Vaio Laptop hahahaha, My sister gave it to me. Its quite a good laptop. She bought it before for like 2000US dollars. I have a pink one. Still using it for 10 years and counting. This video made me smile ❤
The official leap pad.
I didn't think Vaio was still around.
Dankpods meth hads are going to go insane with this nugget
underrated channel
Im actually mad that you didnt used an SSD. For the love of God, the 120GB Kingston SSD is 12€ new....😢
The Windows 10 section of the video was on an SSD
Druaga1 would love this laptop!
I restored a Dell Vostro desktop running Windows 7. Its video card was dead, so I replaced it and reinstalled Windows 7. The product key was missing, so I used a crack. The previous installation was crappy.
Seeing him force shutdown the laptop while its updating was like watching the child with the hammer destroy the PC in the Windows ME ad.
dankpod's new laptop
Vaio button will launch Vaio Control Center from there you can change laptop setting like backlit keyboard, speaker setting, power button setting etc
6:44 "why do I hear boss music"
That's thing's green! GREEN! AHAHAHAHAHA. Mr. Krabs was right what am I going to with all these? Hey is that thing purple? Purple is is my favorite color!
Intel core i3/5/7 started with drr3 there is no ddr2 Intel core i3/5/7 laptop
I REALLY REALLY WANT THIS
nice dankpods reference
I am getting a donkpod vibe
I actually have a old Vaio, I installed Linux on it and make it a Minecraft Server for me and my friends
green 💚
No way, I have that exact same screwdriver set !
I wonder what the price is compare to the key lime iBook g3
another installation in proggress
the most annoying glitch in windows 7
does also take walk in windows 8 and 10
but for windows 11 its almost completely gone
This is the iBook G3 Clamshell of Windows laptops
I love you frogforduck
Bro that vaio button will open Sony Vaio media gallery
thats a nice ANOS laptop
14:51 frokfrdk face reveal 🤯
Which phone or camera you use for recording your videos??
Pixel 7 Pro
I can't find the green one here in the United States on eBay! :(
Why is that?
Tbh the Sony vaio laptop looks better than most modern laptops like the !MacBook...
You have about as much tech skill as croaked frog!
1:49 Put Linux Mint in it, not only is it a great OS it also goes with the color (mint green).
Great video! I enjoyed it alot!!!
It would've been really funny if this was sold in Gaddafi-era Libya.
How did you know that i made a diamond house when i first installed it
My grandma used to have a laptop like that
amazing video as always
11:12 Wow Windows update picked up the drivers even though it was Windows 7.
So it seems to be running the HD 6000 series mobile chip from AMD, it's Terrascale so it has no Vulkan support so you're limited to DX11 and OpenGL. That means for Linux it can only run older ports and has no support for Proton as it relies on Vulkan.
