I have a notebook HP Pavilion dm4 running Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm trying to determine the model number (like HP Pavilion dm4-2015dx or HP Pavilion dm4-2033cl, etc).
There's no such information on notebook's body as suggested on HP's website on Option 1.

I tried to use lshw and dmidecode, but couldn't find. Maybe I should use an especific option but all the information I found is for Windows, nothing for linux.

There is a way to show this information on linux?

sudo dmidecode |grep Version

shows

Version: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz

Here's the System Information part of sudo dmidecode | less

System Information

        Manufacturer: Hewlett-Packard

        Product Name: HP Pavilion dm4 Notebook PC     

        Version: 058A120000242B10000020100

        Serial Number: 5CA1062FYJ

        UUID: E4BD398B-4D9E-BC63-1A03-099330BF5443

:

To see your model number, open a Terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T and type:

sudo dmidecode | grep Version | sed -n '2p'

or alternatively type:

sudo dmidecode | grep 'SKU Number' | head -1

to see your SKU Number.

If you want to see a more detailed view of your System information type:

sudo dmidecode | grep -A 9 "System Information"

or

sudo dmidecode | less

and use the  ↓  key to go to the section System Information.

I guess this command will help:

sudo dmidecode | grep 'SKU Number' | head -1

This will return your laptop's model name:

sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name

This will return your serial number:

sudo dmidecode -s system-serial-number

-s is a keyword argument. Run man dmidecode to find all the available options.

Use dmidecode

$ sudo dmidecode -t 1

On my T430 I have to take out the battery and there is this little sticker that tells me exactly what I want to know. It's not where Lenovo says it is (on top of the battery), but there it is. Might be easier than doing it from the command line if in fact you have such a sticker.
