I am unable to find my computer model name. I have Ubuntu 12.04. I tried HardInfo and System Monitor, but could not find it. I know this is a noob question, but any help is appreciated.
The easy way is to make a text file to search in between do -
sudo lshw | grep product >file
gedit file
Everything will be displayed clearly.The first line will your product name.
You can also view release date , product name, baseband manufacture by followings-
sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
sudo dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name
sudo dmidecode -s baseboard-manufacturer
hpe its all clear now.

-t, --type TYPE: Only display the entries of type TYPE:sudo dmidecode -t system. – Pablo Bianchi Mar 23 '17 at 20:51 -
Try the below command on terminal on get the exact model name,
sudo dmidecode | less | grep Version | sed -n '2p'
Try this command to display your pc's model name with some information,
sudo dmidecode | less | grep Version
Try this for product name,
sudo dmidecode | less | grep "Product Name"

1Since I wanted the Product name, the command that worked was sudo dmidecode | less | grep "Product Name" dmidecode worked. – DryFire Dec 6 '13 at 8:05

This is a GUI Application to display some hardware and software information about the computer.
sudo apt-get install sysinfo
dmidecode is the favorite, you can get your needs using:
sudo dmidecode | grep Version
For example my output is:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz
