Getting things like the manufacturer and model number are difficult, and platform specific. Take a look at the following links for ways to do it:

I already added a dependency to abstract the process and memory os based code from the sdk (The module is cross platform and flexible) so I'm hesitant to continue adding further dependent modules.
Which means writing a bunch of platform specific code anyway. I can't seem to avoid it, considering I have to use WMI on windows and a shell command on linux and android (and probably iOS/mac.) Either way, it seems messy.
