Definitely not only this one. E.g. my Inspiron 8000 (P3/700) has (dmidecode):
Handle 0x0300, DMI type 3, 13 bytes Chassis Information Manufacturer: Dell Computer Corporation Type: Portable
which, if "Portable" happens to be "8", means that it would match.
So: - do all older matching machines grok this? - if not, do something about it? ;)
[I should probably just offer myself to be a guinea pig]
Thanks for a very interesting piece of work!
