Check if the computer is a laptop?

[Guest]

Is there a way to check if the computer is a laptop?

I have no idea how to do it.

Thanks for helpers

Did you try searching the forums before posting?

Thank you!

I did a search for many things.

you just can't know that because in most cases I did not ask for things i was searching for ..

 

You're right,

I was supposed to do a search in this case too ..

I just was too tired. only today I did a search for few things ..

 

Lately I often do more searches. That's why I open threads here at low frequency.

You should do a search in every case. The amount of help you receive in this forum is directly proportional to the amount of effort you put forth.

This is what I do at this time.. but sometimes I make mistakes like what happened now.

Sometimes I'm stupid ... I had to do a search.

"The amount of help you receive in this forum is directly proportional to the amount of effort you put forth."

If I understand correctly what you wrote, you do not know and can not know how much effort I spend. You can not appreciate such a thing because you do not have enough information ..

This unnecessary post has evolved to spam (not related to the subject of the post) so I'll stop respond now ..

I just had to respond in this case

One can actually know how much effort you spent on searching for an answering to your question.
Let me Google that for you.

Perhaps another way without WMI is to use GetSystemPowerStatus and check if it has a battery via the SYSTEM_POWER_STATUS structure (BatteryFlag).  Here's a simple DLLCall and output of the data retrieved:

Local Const $tagSYSTEM_POWER_STATUS = "BYTE  ACLineStatus;BYTE  BatteryFlag;BYTE  BatteryLifePercent;BYTE  Reserved1;DWORD BatteryLifeTime;DWORD BatteryFullLifeTime;"
Local $stSysPowerStat = DllStructCreate($tagSYSTEM_POWER_STATUS)
Local $aRet = DllCall("kernel32.dll", "bool", "GetSystemPowerStatus", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($stSysPowerStat))
ConsoleWrite("Return = " & $aRet[0] & ", Structure:" & @CRLF & _
    "ACLineStatus: " & DllStructGetData($stSysPowerStat, 1) & @CRLF & _
    "BatteryFlag: " & DllStructGetData($stSysPowerStat, 2) & @CRLF & _
    "BatteryLifePercent: " & DllStructGetData($stSysPowerStat, 3) & @CRLF & _
    "BatteryLifeTime: " & DllStructGetData($stSysPowerStat, 4) & @CRLF & _
    "BatteryFullLifeTime" & DllStructGetData($stSysPowerStat, 5) & @CRLF)

 

There's also some DeviceIoControl functions you can look at - see Battery Information @ MSDN.
