    Does anyone know what are the coding rules and the meaning of different Z11 models' codes ?
    e.g.: VPCZ11X5E, VPCZ11V5E, VPCZ11X9E

    Just small bits: V - HDD version (HDD instead of DVD/BR drive), X - SSD version; E - probably silver color, B - black/carbon fiber. Not sure what 5 vs. 9 means.

    Hm, I don't think it holds in every country. I live in Canada and my Z has a model name VPCZ1190S. It's a CTO with i5, 4GB RAM, 192 SSD and premium carbon fiber.

    @Nivel: Of course. Original post mentions specific models, my reply is directly related to that. Considering the fact that US lineup does not have models with HDD, coding scheme in US is different. I'll leave the exercise of figuring it out (compare model codes and configurations) to others ;)

    BTW, I do not know exact coding scheme, I simply suggested meaning for some pieces based on observations.
