So you can use
Get-WmiObject win32_systemenclosure | select chassistypes
To get the Windows chassis type for a machine as defined in this list:

Does anyone have any idea how this is actually generated? Is it something that is defined by the manufacturer at the BIOS level? Or generated by Windows based on some other criteria.
An example is that the 'Surface Pro 2' is actually number 11 which is 'Hand Held'.
Basically I want to use this chassis type in SCCM to define some settings but I want to be positive that I can count on it. For instance, in this day and age what's the chassis type difference between:
Mini Tower, Low Profile Desktop, Space-Saving etc.
I can't find any literature on the way this is actually defined, it seems to be up to the manufacturer and how they define it.
