How to know the model of the computer from Ubuntu?

I am unable to find my computer model name. I have Ubuntu 12.04. I tried HardInfo and System Monitor, but could not find it. I know this is a noob question, but any help is appreciated.

You can also view release date , product name, baseband manufacture by followings-

sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
sudo dmidecode -s baseboard-product-name
