Not far off, but you don’t get any of the BIOS information from the Settings app. BIOS mode, BIOS settings and date, SMBIOS version, Embedded controller version, and so on. So yeah, not really the same as the Settings app. The Settings app gives yo the more mainstream information such as the software, processor and manufacturer.
