    Nothing to worry about. The R4100 is the product number for the laptop where as the r4225ca is the model number.

    The price is not too bad given the specifications.

    The entire R4000 series shares the same BIOS. R4225CA merely designates a specific configuration (which CPU, HD, etc) sold in Canada.
