Is there any cocoa api or other api that can get what type of machine
it is. i.e. MacBook Pro, Powerbook, etc. I can easily get the machine
model like MacBookPro1,1.


IOKit is your friend.  Use it.  ;)

+ (NSString *)computerModel
{
    static NSString *computerModel = nil;

if (!computerModel) { io_service_t pexpdev; if ((pexpdev = IOServiceGetMatchingService (kIOMasterPortDefault, IOServiceMatching("IOPlatformExpertDevice")))) { NSData *data; if ((data = (id)IORegistryEntryCreateCFProperty(pexpdev, CFSTR("model"), kCFAllocatorDefault, 0))) { computerModel = [[NSString allocWithZone:NULL] initWithCString:[data bytes] encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]; [data release]; } } }

    return computerModel;
}
