Idea #732: Hardware database auto populating utility with survey.

bug This idea is a duplicate of Idea #40: Create a better hardware database.
Written by cornbread the 29 Feb 08 at 03:43. Category: System. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
Design a hardware utility that after install people can open under the system tool menu and they can rate their system with model number and have the utility automatically pull specs.

Say that someone buys a new lenovo x60 they can say what ports and what buttons/functions work out of the box.

That has to be one of the best ideas I have read on here and it would be really easy to actually implement.
