dmidecoderequires root. Nobody wants to start steam as root.
It does, but I was suggesting an approach. it doesn't necessarily have to be dmidecode.
An alternative without root, is reading from the /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id directory. On Ubuntu this directory is filled with dmi info.
Doesn't require root
By executing cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_name you should get the info.
I got Alienware 15 R4 as my output.
