Should I replace a PCG-xxxxxx identifier by the real model number of a device in the device page title and keep the PCG identifier in the description ? (except for very old laptops where the PCG model is the only identifier number as the PCG is also an old series of sony laptops like this one : https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/Z016/Z016035111.PDF)

Should I replace a PCG-xxxxxx identifier by the real model number of a device in the device page title and keep the PCG identifier in the description ? (except for very old laptops produced before the year 2004 where the PCG model was the only identifier number as the PCG can also be considered as an old series of sony laptops like this one : https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/res/manuals/Z016/Z016035111.PDF)
The real model number is also called the "Product Name" on the Sony support page and on the Sony laptops labels. This is useful to get the exact reference of the laptop on the Sony support page or to get the exact reference to find the correct spare part.
Example with this device page:
https://fr.ifixit.com/Device/Sony_Vaio_PCG-51412L
The PCG identifier is PCG-51412L and is used in the page title, but it doesn't identify this laptop because it is used by more than 10 different Sony laptops with different specs. Indeed, if we observe the label of this laptop by zooming on a picture of a guide where the laptop is upside down, we can see that its Product Name is VPCY2190X.
