How do I find my computer model number in Zorin?

Is there a terminal command? It isn't shown in About - there it doesn't have the long model number of the laptop.

You can try it with

sudo lshw

Using Brave A.I. search engine via Mojeek search engine:

" To find your computer's model in the Linux terminal, the most direct command is sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name , which outputs only the manufacturer and product name. Alternatively, you can run sudo dmidecode | grep -A3 '^System Information' to view a block of details including the manufacturer, product name, version, and serial number.

For users who prefer reading from the file system without sudo (as many files in this directory are readable by regular users), you can check the DMI ID files directly using:

cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name

Other useful commands include lshw -class system for a detailed hardware list or hwinfo --short for a concise overview of all hardware components.

NB I am running Zorin 17.1 r2 as a VM.
and sudo should be used in the other commands not shown in the Brave Search engine result. For hwinfo you will need to install this with:

sudo apt install hwinfo
