The commands listed in this post are more for Linux than Unix. To find out information about the hardware of your computer, you can run an lspci command. Lspci will output the specifications of your hardware in a list style arrangement as shown below:

If you want to get more specific in your lspci output (e.g. wanting just to display a certain brand), you can always do lspci | grep -i "Productname" which will only return results that includes the string from your grep command. For example, if I wanted to find all of the hardware made by Broadcom, I would do lspci | grep -i "broadcom" and the results would return only hardware that mentions Broadcom.
