What does "BR" mean in the name "HP 15-BR011TX laptop”?

Hi,

The Laptop Model “HP 15-BR011TX” model may not exist as per my research, rather it should be “HP 15-AY011TX”. Please correct me if I am wrong.

As per HP nomenclature schemes, they differentiate the area they were produced for and what components each one had installed at the factory. They can also specify the color so that if a particular part will match what was originally installed, should a replacement be required.
