Sony laptop series and model numbers begin with the letters "PCG" or "VGN" and are located on a small label on the frame around the LCD display or above the keyboard. The label is normally the same color as the case with contrasting letters. The model number is typically a more detailed variation of the series number - both numbers can be obtained from the same label. NOTE: Do not use the "Model" listed on the grey label on the back of the computer as this will not provide the correct information. |
