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!
