You are polling the wrong WMI class/hive. Of course Microsoft is the OS manufacturer; what you need is Win32_ComputerSystem
:
Imports System.Management
cs = New ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each objMgmt In cs.Get
_Manufacturer = objMgmt("manufacturer").ToString()
_Model = objMgmt("model").ToString()
_SystemType = objMgmt("systemtype").ToString
_totalMem = objMgmt("totalphysicalmemory").ToString()
Next
Manufacturer will be something like "Dell, Inc", Model comes out spot on with mine, but has been known to sometimes include internal sub model identifiers. System type comes back as "x64-based PC" on mine.
MS has a WMI query builder somewhere to help fnd and use the right query, though it generates very wordy code.
