[Sub1L PC System Identification]
This is a simple guide to pool my knowledge of mini's into a quick glance guide, in the case you come across a system you want to immediately identify, and you can't immediately find specifications for.
These naming schemes are simple once you get used to them, and are even a bit interchangeable.
Note: Both HP and Lenovo denote AMD by using an ending 5 in the 2-3 digit ENTERPRISE name.
