What is the true model number

Good day, all

With the new Dell model numbers, how do I know when the hardware changes and I have to create a new image for my company?

Currently, I have Dell 5520, 5530, 5540, ect... images.  For the new models, how do I know when the hardware changes?  On my packing slip, I do see a "PB16250" in the description for my Dell Pro 16 Plus.  Is that the actual model?

Thank you,

10 Elder

Yes it is -- Dell is phasing out the model line names (Inspiron, Vostro, XPS, Latitude) in favor of the new nomenclature.

@ejn63​ So, "PB16250" is the new model number.  Got it.  Thanks for the quick response!

@ejn63​ One more question, if you know.  Does a certin character in the model name PB16250 identify a major change?  Or a minor change?

@frantza​ If you mean generation then 25 is year/generation,
