Comment 12 for bug 1222763

Andreas Moog, especially for HP, unfortunately it is a common misconception that the dmi.modalias is the full computer model as noted on the sticker. However, for other vendors this information is always in the Bug Description (ex. Dell, Lenovo). One may go to the following URL for verification of this:

As well, it would be important to know which model specifically from the sticker (not dmi.modalias) this is encountered with, as folks can be better prepared when making informed computer purchases.
