If the SMBIOS data is not generated and filled correctly then the machine may behave unexpectedly. For example, a Mini PC that advertises "Chassis Information | Type = Tablet" may behave unexpectedly using Linux. A desktop manager like GNOME will attempt to monitor a non-existent battery and shutdown the screen and network interfaces when the missing battery drops below a threshold. Additionally, if the "Chassis Information | Manufacturer" is not filled in correctly then work-arounds for the incorrect "Type = Tablet" problem cannot be applied.
