Determine Machine Type
Question:
I'm looking for a way to determine through WMI what type of machine you are on (i.e. a desktop, laptop or tablet). Is there an easy way to do that? I'm poking through the WMI classes, but not having much luck....I found the MS info on a WMI class - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/wmi/win32_systemenclosure.asp - but I'm not sure how one would enumerate an array in VB. ANy ideas?? it's uint16 ChassisTypes[];
