    In the Monster.mof you can use the "System Enclosure" to determine if a PC
    is a laptop. In SMS 2 you can download and install "Monster.Mof"
    http://www.smsexpert.com/smsexpert/Downloads.asp however since you are using
    SMS 2003 you will need to following the instructions
    http://myitforum.techtarget.com/articles/8/view.asp?id=6700.

    Then you can use the SQL query within this article to determine what type of
    PC you have.
