When this BB is run on a computer, it registers Make and model in the registry.
For example, when you have a HP Compaq 8510p, it registers HP as Make and HP Compaq 8510p as Model. When a manufactorer places an hardware ID in the model - HP does this a lot.. placing an hardware ID between () - that last part is striped from the modelname and placed in the key ModelAlias

This registry entry can than be used as an condition on tasks. Example: a driver is only needed for a special model of the laptop, you can set an condition on the tasks or module that installs the driver, to only run when the model in the registry matches a specific string. See attached picture.
