Let’s get this thing clear.
In the computer world laptops is a different category compared to desktop computers. In laptops, we can find different brands with their unique design, product quality, and performance.
However, a laptop manufacturer can’t stop producing one or two laptops. Let’s say Apple MacBooks (Apple laptops, also called MacBooks). If I told you that I have a MacBook, then you may raise a question like how old is your MacBook, what processor is in it, and what features it has like.
These common questions will be clear with the unique model number of a laptop. If I need to tell my laptop with a model number, then I would say “MacBook M1”.
