Each value should have the standard UI for copying it as a whole. The manufacturer and model should be on a single line, separated by a space. “Check For Updates” should navigate to the “Software Updates” panel. “Software Licenses” should navigate to a single “Software Licenses” screen that consists of a single text view listing all the licenses for included software (since there is no other way to access that information).

PC
Choosing “About This Computer” should open a normal, non-modal window in the center of the screen.
Ubuntu version
The main text in the window should be the Ubuntu version, followed by “pre-release” if it is not a release version, otherwise “LTS” if it is an LTS version. For example:
- Ubuntu 14.04 pre-release
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.10
Menus
File ==== Close Ctrl W Edit ==== Copy Ctrl C
Copy
Choosing the Copy command should copy all the text shown in the window, colon-and-space-delimited:
