I have a notebook HP Pavilion dm4 running Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm trying to determine the model number (like HP Pavilion dm4-2015dx or HP Pavilion dm4-2033cl, etc).
There's no such information on notebook's body as suggested on HP's website on Option 1.
I tried to use lshw
and dmidecode
, but couldn't find. Maybe I should use an especific option but all the information I found is for Windows, nothing for linux.
There is a way to show this information on linux?
sudo dmidecode |grep Version
shows
Version: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 460 @ 2.53GHz
Here's the System Information
part of sudo dmidecode | less

To see your model number, open a Terminal with Ctrl + Alt + T and type:
sudo dmidecode | grep Version | sed -n '2p'
or alternatively type:
sudo dmidecode | grep 'SKU Number' | head -1
to see your SKU Number.
If you want to see a more detailed view of your System information type:
sudo dmidecode | grep -A 9 "System Information"
or
sudo dmidecode | less
and use the ↓ key to go to the section System Information.
