$MachineType

$MachineType is a string giving the general type of computer on which Mathematica is being run.

$MachineType is intended to reflect general families of hardware rather than specific models.

Typical values are "PC", "Macintosh", "Sun", "DEC" and "SGI".

Computers with the same $MachineType may not be binary compatible.

See Section 2.14.5.
