We use machine naming conventions to distingush laptops [airport code of city][branch location id][computer role,Workstation,laptop..etc][date built]
Also we've got a database with every piece of hardware so we know..

We have a circumstance that requires laptops to be addressed differently from workstations, and we have been unable to find any consistent variable to poll for this determination.
