Batch Script to detect Laptop

[rgrant1993]

just use this:

@echo off
Color 0c
wmic csproduct get name
pause

[jaclaz]

just use this:

Perfect!

Too bad that it will tell you (maybe ) the actual manufacturer name or maybe nothing, definitely won't tell you whether it is portable or not, so you will have (if a value is returned) to use a database of some kind, to see if the particular model returned is a laptop/netbook or a desktop.

As both jaclaz and CoffeeFiend mentioned earlier, if your systems are Windows Vista or newer then:

@(wmic computersystem get pcsystemtype|find "2">nul 2>&1)&&@(call [encryption stuff])

Using the other WMI class mentioned by jaclaz and used earlier by gunsmokingman:

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS
(SET _=)
FOR /F "DELIMS={}" %%# IN (
	'2^>NUL WMIC SystemEnclosure GET ChassisTypes^|FIND "}"') DO (
	FOR %%$ IN (8 9 10 11 12 14 18 21) DO IF %%#==%%$ SET "_=T")
IF NOT DEFINED _ GOTO :EOF
REM [Encryption stuff here]
ECHO=This is a line of text only visible to a 'portable'
