Hi there,

Currently, no Sony laptops are supported. So, there isn't any option
to build coreboot for your laptop.

If you *really* want to have coreboot on it, you could try porting
(adding coreboot support for) this laptop. However, you *need* to be
able to flash externally (something to flash a known-good BIOS when
the laptop doesn't boot). I couldn't find schematics for this laptop,
so I don't know if there are problems that would make in-circuit
external flashing (using a clip) dangerous.

That must be 8 GiB, with some memory being unavailable because it was
reserved for something.
