The following methods will help you find your laptop, workstation, or motherboard computer.
What is the exact model name or part number for?
The part number or exact model name is used to search for drivers or compatible components on the manufacturer's website.
Model and modification
Computer manufacturers rarely release one version of a particular laptop model. As a rule, several product modifications are produced in the same package. The most expensive modification may have powerful processor e.g. Core i7, 8GB random access memory and a powerful video adapter from nVidia. And the most budget one can be equipped with a low-power Celeron, two gigabytes of RAM and an integrated video adapter from Intel. At the same time, externally, the devices will look exactly the same.
At the same time, for many manufacturers, only the product line is indicated on the front of the product. For example Asus 500 Series. Or the HP Pavilion DV6000. However, it is extremely important for the user to know the exact model in order to download the correct drivers. And the exact model name or its part number is on the bottom of the product: for example, Pavilion DV6125.
In the case of HP, the term Notebook Model means the model name. BUT Product Number(he is part namber, part number, product number, code of product) Is a unique product identifier that identifies a modification.
Where to see the model name of a laptop (workstation)
1. On the bottom of the laptop
Turn off your laptop. Turn it over and place it on a soft cloth to avoid scratching the top cover. In most cases, information about the model and modification is contained on the bottom cover of the product:
2. Under the battery or on the battery
Turn off your laptop. Wait for the noise from the cooling system and hard disk will stop. Then remove the battery. In our case, the model and part number were found on the laptop case under the battery:
3.Using the command line
Enter the command:
Wmic csproduct get name
Click on Enter:
If you run this command on desktop computer, you will get either the name (if it is a branded workstation) or the motherboard model:
As you can see, in the case of the computer, we got the exact model of the motherboard. But in the case of a laptop, we found out only the general name of the series and this information is not enough for us to find drivers. Therefore, the command line will not always solve this problem.
4. In BIOS
Enter BIOS.
For different laptops, model data may be contained in different sections. Usually, they are called Main or System information.
It looks so Laptop BIOS HP G62:
And this is how the BIOS of the older HP Compaq nx6310 looks like:
5.Using software
The model and modification of the computer (laptop, netbook) can also be found using special utilities... For such purposes, AIDA64 is ideal.
Start the AIDA64 program.
Open the path:
Computer => DMI => System
Example # 1. We launch the AIDA64 program on a laptop.
In field Product displayed only base model laptop - HP G62 Notebook PC that we already know.
But in the field SKU # we see part number XU610EA # ACB, which is sufficient for complete identification of the device on the manufacturer's website:
Example # 2. Desktop.
By running the program on a stationary computer, we are in the field Product we see the model of the motherboard, because system unit not branded.
6. On the package
If you still have packaging from your laptop, find it and try to find information about the model and accessories on it. Very often, this type of technical information is printed on a white sticker or white rectangle on the end of the package.
conclusions
The most accurate information about the model and modification of laptops can be obtained from the BIOS and special AIDA64 software.
Not every laptop owner knows its model. Yes, yes, it really is. Someone in their head only after reading the title of the article will ask questions: "How can you not know the model of your own laptop?" and "Who do you have to be in order not to know the simplest thing?" Be that as it may, such situations are common. Even specialists cannot always visually determine the model of a laptop for the reason that one company in almost the same case may have completely different hardware, which means that the downloaded drivers may not work, even if the devices look completely identical. We will not languish and propose to go straight to the consideration of all sorts of options.
Determining the laptop model
The first and most banal way is to find the original packaging from him, it always has all necessary information... But such, as a rule, do not live long and are sent straight to the oven. What to do in this case?Carefully inspect the laptop for any sticker on the front, often this is where all the necessary information is indicated.
Some manufacturers place the sticker directly under the display, others on the right or left side of the touchpad, and still others do not glue anything at all on the front side.
If this time the search was unsuccessful, you should turn off the laptop and look at the sticker on the back panel. These are most often found on ASUS, Lenovo and Acer.
Some manufacturers, such as HP, manage to hide the stickers under a removable battery. Therefore, if you disconnect it without disassembling the case, it makes sense to look for the model number under it.
Determining the laptop model using Windows
Our favorite command line can come to the rescue. Don't worry if you don't know how to use it at all - no skills are needed. A minimum of actions are required from you.
Third party software
There are a huge number of third-party programs and through them you can get just a colossal amount of information about your laptop: from the frequency at which the processor and RAM work to stress tests for performance and behavior during their passage.Among such programs, I would like to pay special attention to AIDA64. It is easy to operate, has a Russian-language interface and a person who is absolutely not versed in technology can handle it.
To view the laptop model through it you need:

In this program you need to open the "Computer - DMI - System" section. Here, the product line will show your laptop model.
Today we will consider several proven and most simple ways find out the model of laptop or netbook ranging from built-in operating system tools to specialized software.
Almost every user, in the process of using a laptop, is faced with the need to know the name of the device. This is useful not only for checking it technical characteristics, but also for the purchase of various components and accessories. Also, one should not exclude cases with repairs, when, when calling the service center, the operator can clarify the brand and model of the equipment in order to check the availability of the required parts in the warehouse and name the estimated cost of the upcoming work.
First of all, the information of interest can be found on the product box, in the attached user manual, on the warranty card or in the purchase receipt. If there is no packaging and documentation, stick to the points below from our article and be sure to find what you were looking for.
We look at the information on the panel and in the battery part
To date, the lineup laptops, netbooks and ultrabooks are incredibly huge. Manufacturers can sculpt stickers in different parts. For example, on most Samsung, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Dell laptops, the inscriptions are on the front side, not far from the touchpad.
Some MSI modifications, Acer aspire, Hewlett Packard, Fujitsu-Siemens, Sony Vaio received designations on the side or on the bottom. In any case, carefully inspect the equipment from all sides and most likely you will see the necessary information.
Another option to look at the serial number and find out the specific model of the laptop is the battery.
Turn off the power beforehand! After 10-15 minutes, try to gently turn your "iron friend" over, remove the latches and cover on the back panel and pull out the battery. Look for a label on your laptop battery, which can be located on the front or side, in the area of \ u200b \ u200bthe contacts.
