Yes, should be the same.  The offcial name is something like
Sony VAIO PCG-505, or so, and in the Japanese advertisment
brochures it is also called $B%P%$%*%N!<%H(B (or something like
that) - always sounds as if it is something *bio*logical to
me, but probably just means VAIO :-)

Cheers,

P.S.: Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it tomorrow :-(
