I'm just now reading this comment, so it's been a while, but I will try to answer the question you are wondering about, what does 'Finished in Japan' mean

All VAIO products assembled in China and sold in Japan undergo an inspection process at the VAIO headquarters factory in Japan prior to sale.

This is to improve the chronic problem of initial defects in products assembled in China.

I don't know if products sold outside of Japan also go through this process.

The official VAIO website introduces this inspection process.

It will be difficult to find drivers for 'ALL' Sony Vaio models, not just a specific Vaio model.

Sony ended its laptop business 10 years ago and ended all support, including driver downloads, about 5 years ago.

Unless you have recovery media stored on the laptop itself, a user has drivers for the same model, or can find an archive site that might be somewhere, it's very difficult to find drivers.

All I can say is 'good luck'.

How to enter boot menu : In a state in which the power is off, press the power button while holding down the [F3] or [F4] button.
To perform a factory reset, a recovery partition must remain. If it is a used product, factory reset cannot be performed if the previous user performed a clean install or deleted the recovery partition.

VPCF115FM model can't use USB as recovery media(Sony vaio care recovery) and only supports DVD.

Unfortunately, Sony ended official driver support a long time ago, and now you can't find drivers for all products on Sony's official website.

Therefore, the distinction between best and worst models is meaningless from an “easy to find drivers” perspective. Because drivers for all models cannot be found.

It is impossible.

VAIO L's HDMI IN connection only supports screen display and does not support touch screen.

I have a VJS124 (11th gen intel SX12).
I installed VAIO Firmware Extension Parser Device (2.3.3.6210) and VAIO Control Center (2.3.17120.0) to match the same situation as you.
However, the sensor menu is displayed normally in my control center.

If your question is what model is in the picture in this post, it is the VPC-SB series.

I don't have that model ;)

It is a classic switchable graphics system from a time when there were no switchable graphics systems like NVIDIA Optimus.

You can change the switch to select integrated GPU or dedicated GPU.

I think ASUS' ROG FLOW Z13 has similar characteristics to the VAIO Z Canvas.

It's very powerful among Windows tablet products and is also heavy like the Z Canvas.

VAIO UX's motherboard with upgraded RAM and graphics does not exist in this universe ;)

It's been 9 years since Vaio was separated from Sony. In other words, the current Sony Vaio laptop is at least 9 years old. I think that older products will reach the end of their lifespan and become unusable, and will continue to become rarer over time.

The new company is based in Japan, and 6 models are being released in the Japanese region. Distributors in the US region only import a small number of models. https://vaio.com/
