Default as vs. like

Hello,
me again with a new English question.
I know that both "as" and "like" can be used for comparisons, that they are sometimes completely interchangeable (I think so. am I right?) and sometimes not, but I can't figure out the exact rule.

This is an example which gives me a headache:

For example, there are two computer models: M75 an C68.

Should I say that M75 has some parts/characteristics/whatever AS or LIKE model C68?
or is the only possible way of saying it: M75 has the same parts as C68?

Can you understand what I'm confused with?
Thanks in advance.
