Sure.  The first four digits is the real key.  If they change, anything
could change (even if it goes with the same "thinkpad" model name, like
X61).

Examples are T61 with onboard graphics, and T61 with nVidia graphics.
They use different planar cards... so even if they do are T61, they are
different machines really. Axis orientation can vary from one planar card
type to another.

I think you need to enhance the tables to also use the model number :(

The first four digits of the model number, and the EC version is likely to
be the only things that really matter.
