    Lenovo ThinkPads used to do that, but you had to know the system.

    T580 as an example:

    • T is the series
    • 5 indicates 1[5]" screen size
    • 8 indicates the year 201[8]
    • 0 doesn’t really mean anything

    So a T490 would be 14" and from 2019.

    Though, I’m unsure of their naming scheme for newer models like T14 or T15. I think the 14 or 15 just tells the screen size, and then they add a “Gen 2”, “Gen 3” etc. to indicate the age.
