For example, VAIO VPC EB64FX BJ.

Is there any site explains the meaning of these series number, and maybe has a list to compare between similar models. For now, I have to crawl a lot sites to figure out VPC = VAIO PC, EB is a series for certain setup like Intel chip, LED back light. BJ means the case is in black. However, I still can't find out the meaning to 64 and FX. Can the community advise? Thanks.

One would think the manufacturer's web site provided information like this (especially useful product comparison). But I'd be not surprised if Sony's didn't. – Daniel Beck Feb 27 '11 at 8:24
Edited the post since these identifiers are specific to manufacturers. – Daniel Beck Feb 27 '11 at 8:52

Everyone knows VAIO is video Audio Integrated Operation.

My vaio is VPC EB36FG/B

  • VPC as u have already said, ofcourse stands for Vaio PC.
  • E stands for E Series laptops,which normally is a consumer grade version of Vaio with attractive colors,Graphics support etc.
  • B stands for a subset of the E series ,for grouping laptops with particular features.(For eg:- EA laptops were 14" ,EB were 15.5")
  • The numbers '36' represent a model in the EB series. (For eg:- There was EB26FG before my laptop came to market, now my model is not available , but EB46FG is available. ) As the number changes they make some minor changes also, basically keeping the overall look same.
  • In old VAIO models the last two letters were a hint to the operating system it carries (Eg:- V505EX - Came with Windows XP home and V505EXP -Came with windows XP professional) .
  • And the letter after the / represents the colour. B= Black ,W= White etc.

So i guess FX basically stands for a XP home editon laptop.
