How it's used
Focuses specifically on technical specifications or product series for manufactured goods like cars, computers, or appliances. It is rarely used to describe abstract types or categories of people, where terms like 種類 or 款式 are more appropriate. When asking about a product's model, it is common to use the classifier 款 or 個 to refer to the specific item.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 款式, which refers to the style, design, or aesthetic appearance of an object rather than its technical identifier or serial designation.
