Assuming this is the Lenovo you list then it is the Laptop model name, and the Alphanumeric group is the Part Number.

You would use the Part Number or the Serial Number to get a more accurate list of drivers etc. the same model name can apply to different hardware e.g. ones with Intel, or AMD CPUs would have slightly different Alphanumeric group.
