Unclear which HP devices support LVFS

I'm planning to buy a laptop that is supported by LVFS, but it's currently unclear which HP laptops are actually supported. HP offers firmware for a limited subset of its devices. In most cases, the device name on LVFS corresponds to an actual understandable real-world marketing name, but in the following cases the device name is generic and difficult to make sense of:
- Commercial Desktop S12 Family System Update
- Commercial Desktop S21 Family System Update
- Commercial Laptop S70 Family System Update
- Commercial Laptop S73 Family System Update
- Commercial Laptop T91 Family System Update
- Commercial Laptop V90 Family System Update
- Desktop Workstation U60 Family System Update
- Desktop Workstation U61 Family System Update
It's not possible to search the web for e.g. "Commercial Desktop S12" or "Commercial Laptop V90" to figure out which HP hardware the updates correspond to. I have a theory that the V90 laptops might be part of the Victus line (but which ones?), and the S laptops might be Spectre (but which ones?), but this is just an uneducated guess. It's not clear how we could know for sure, and maybe it's a bad guess, because I don't know of any corresponding product lines that would match T01, U60, U61.
Agreed. I've asked two HP vendor manager about this; if I get any update I can share I'll paste it here too. Thanks.
