Are Acer Aspire model numbers in the DSDT browser correct?

Are Acer Aspire model numbers in the DSDT browser correct?

[Mateusz Łoskot]

Hi,
My question may not be about ACPI development (I'm ACPI user only) but I need to
ask my question. This list seems to fit this topic.
Why all Acer Aspire model numbers have strange form in this browser
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/view.php?manufacturer=ACER

I mean why there is 3002 instead of 3020 or 5002 instead of 5020?
Or may be 3002 has nothing to do with 3020 model?

Thanks for any explanation.

p.s. I'm going to upgrade DSDT in my Acer Aspire 5021 that why I ask.

Thanks for your great work on ACPI!
Cheers

well, i do not know the naming policy of Acer. but knowing some product
lines of other manufacturers, it might be that 3002 is really another
machine than 3020 (and this is no swap of digits). it might be like:
30xx means 15" screen notebook. 300x means the former + CPU from AMD.
and 3002 means the former with bluetooth, where 3001 would mean the
former with WLAN. well, this might be the idea behind it, but i do not
know. also the same machines might have slightly different numbers in
different countries/regions of the world.

so it might be that 5021 is the same family and thus DSDT-compatible
with 5020 and also with 5002. or not... you should contact Acer to ask
them about the relations of the numbers. or you could search the net
extensively for product infos.

hth,
 Sebastian

OK, but do I understand correctly that 3002 is something different to 3020?
Are you trying to say both numbers are valid?

Sorry for my ignorance, but there are no model numbers like 3002, 5002 on this
website:

http://global.acer.com/products/notebook/index.htm

I'll do it. Thanks.

possibly. on the page you mention below, there is a model 3000, so 3002
is perhaps a slight deviation of that base model.

> Are you trying to say both numbers are valid?

again, possibly. :)

it might be that Acer produces different model numbers for different
countries, although it does not look like it in this case, because they
present their notebooks on the "global" pages.
also, it might be that the abovementioned models are out-of-production
and Acer has removed them from that list.
another thing is, that model numbers on a manufacturer's homepage are
not always the same numbers as sold in the shop or as printed on the
case of the notebook. the latter ones tend to be more complex, somehow
coding all features into one number.
