It might not tell you the model of your computer, but it will tell you the motherboard etc and you may be able to Google/deduce a model: http://embraceubuntu.com/2007/02/18/find-hardware-specs-details-on-your-computer/

Hi Peter,

Don't forget about these commands as well. ;-) Make sure to use copy-paste instead of typing it manually. That is not an L or an I (capital i) between dmidecode and grep. It is a special pipe symbol.

sudo dmidecode|grep roduct

sudo lshw -short

And if you need hardware details about your wireless card or sound card, visit the following pages:
