January 26th, 2010 adminHere’s an useful little tip!   If you need to find the Service Tag on a Dell, you can get at it using the following command in DOS :
wmic csproduct get vendor,name,identifyingnumber
In fact this command is useful on any PC as it also returns the system identifier, make and model of the PC.
Here’s further information and instructions for other operating systems:

Using induction charging and ultra wideband wireless, the laptop is completely cable free!

I look forward to the day when all laptops/desktops can use similar technology!
