Not quite. The TYPE mentioned on the label at the bottom is unique for the
hardware. The model name itself (like X61, T60, T61p) is a collection for
several types.
The TYPE consists of an identifier for the hardware, and one for
localization parts (like e.g. different keyboard layout).
So with bug reports it's good to mention the model name (for easier
identifying possible problems), and the concrete type (for identifying the
hardware).
Other vendors have similiar systems, but I always liked the Thinkpad ones
best.
