Can we trace back device make-model from a MAC address?

Mac address of a Electronic device viz mobile/laptop are very critical for a investigating team dealing with a Cyber Incident.From an investigator point of view this one attribute associated with every device can give the Name of the OEM.I searched on net to find if the make and model of the device can be traced back via the Mac Address but couldn't find much...except for the name of the OEM I couldn't get much...for a Laptop I could get Dell and for a mobile device I could get samsung....nothing much....Is their anyway to identify and trace back the make/model??????

SALAAMI ATTACK

1. Ever seen your account with minute details of each and every penny/cent/paise in your account...I m sure many of you wouldn't have....how does it matter if its Rs 22323.45 or Rs 22322.12.....a difference of some paise ...we generally account for it against rounding off....but now on be ware...u may just be a salaami target....better known as Saalami Attack

2. An example of this also known as penny shaving, is the mal practice of stealing money repeatedly in extremely small quantities, usually by taking advantage of rounding off to the nearest money unit viz cent or paisa in financial transactions. It would be done by always rounding down, and putting the fractions of a cent into another account. The idea is to make the change small enough that any single transaction will go undetected.

3. IT comes with a whole lot of things...u get some,u loose some.....be ware.For more info click here, here and here.
