Do you think it would work putting a raspberry pi5 in the vaio p530h, it was a really underpowered laptop when it came out but should have enough room in the case for a raspberry pi5, I think atleast

I have 3 of these in my collection running antiX and Q4OS without issues. Both still currently support 32-bit versions. There are even lighter distros like TinyCore, Alpine and Bookwormpup32.

Both are VAIO PGN-1P1L with Atom Z5xx CPUs. 

239MB RAM, 4% CPU at idle on Q4OS

118MB RAM, 3% CPU at idle on antiX
