Question : SCCM: Collection based on Computer Model Query?

I am trying to find out a good method of creating collections based on laptop model.

The majority of our collections are based on active directory OU queries however I would like to create collections for our laptops based on their model, however I am unsure of where to find their 'model id' and where this information is pulled from in the first place.
I'm assuming that system discovery should find this information but in the properties tab of a single computer I cannot find any reference to the computer model.

I have found this query statement elsewhere on the web:

select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System     INNER JOIN SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM       ON SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId   WHERE  SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model = "Ergo Ensis 211"

As you can see I have manually entered the 'Ergo Ensis 211' as an example.

I have created a collection with this statement, but now need to know where to find this information, or instructions on how to configure SCCM to recognise the different laptops in some way so I can seperate them into collections ready for OSD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Answer : SCCM: Collection based on Computer Model Query?

You can view the individual information about a computer using the "Resource Explorer" which is accessed by right clicking on a computer and selecting Start - Resource Explorer. Once launched expand Hardware and select Computer System. This will display the manufacturer and model id. Below is a query that you can create to see all the model ids you have on the network. Create a Query under Queries not a collection. After you have exposed your model ids then you can create collections based on the results of the Query.

select distinct SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Manufacturer, SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.Model from  SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM on SMS_G_System_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.ResourceID = SMS_R_System.ResourceId
