How to correctly identify your laptop model.
Hello! And since you already guessed from the title of the article, it will focus on the correct definition of the laptop model. Many will be surprised why it was necessary to bother at all, and strain on this topic. It's very simple, many of our clients do not correctly indicate the model of their laptop in the order. As a result, our specialists have to "guess" this model or call people to clarify it. All these refinements take both your and Our time. I hope this article will help someone.
So, let's begin.
Almost all laptop manufacturers have so-called "line" or "lineup" of laptops. For example, Acer has Aspire, Aspire One, Aspire TimeLine, Extensa, TravelMate, Ferrari. Each line has several series of notebooks, and each series has several models. Laptops of different series may differ in appearance, in the size of the matrix (screen) and, accordingly, in configuration (in terms of filling). Laptops of the same series differ from each other mainly only in configuration.
The model of your laptop can be found on the bottom cover of the case or in the documentation. Below I will give examples of where information about the model may be located from different manufacturers.
Acer, Emachines, Packard bell.
Why are we considering these brands together. It's just that they are all owned and produced by ACER. Which, in principle, is noticeable from the labels.
In the photo, complete and comprehensive information about the laptop is circled in red.
But in addition, under the barcode is the serial number of the device, which contains the catalog number of the product. It is not difficult to calculate it, as a rule, it is the first ten characters of the serial number.
At Asus, everything is quite simple, the laptop model is underlined in red. But it is more correct to send us the model of the motherboard, underlined in green. Since Asus has several types of motherboards of different configurations in one model.
In the first photo the serial number of the device is underlined in red, it is also present in the second photo. With its help, on the Dell website you can find out which laptop model you have, as well as download drivers and utilities for different software from the website. But this can be used if you do not have a second sticker on the bottom cover of the case. Photo two, model and model number are outlined in green. The order should indicate as follows, Inspiron N5010-8857.
Hewlett-Packard for most modern models of this manufacturer information about the laptop model is hidden under the battery photo 1.
The name of the laptop model is circled in red in photo 2. You can also find out about the model on the website www.hp.ru by indicating the serial number of the device.
Lenovo.
In the photo, the name of the series is circled in red, the name of the model is in green. Both should be indicated in the order. Lenovo IdeaPad Y560-20038
Samsung.
Here the model code is circled in red, which must be indicated in the order. Since the simple name of the model SF510 does not carry complete information about the laptop.
The first photo shows the product name circled on the second catalog number. Indicate both in the order, make our work easier.)))
Toshiba.
The model name is circled in red, the product catalog number is in green. In the order, you can specify either one or the other, since both of these designations will be exhaustive.
We have considered the options of the most common manufacturers. But if it still doesn't help you, send with your order a clear photo of the bottom cover of your laptop. Our experts will figure it out themselves.
Hello friends, glad to see you on our blog. In this article, I will tell you and clearly show you how to find out the laptop model.
In the last issue, we found out in a couple of clicks. Today we'll talk about laptops, how to determine their model and main characteristics.
Find out the model
Advanced computer users probably know how to do this, but there are also people who don't. So, especially for you, I decided to write this article on how to determine the laptop model.
A small outline of the article:
- Packaging and documents,
- Front or back panels and stickers,
- Under the battery (battery),
- View in BIOS,
- Computer properties,
- Command line,
- System Information Msinfo32
- DirectX Diagnostic Tool,
- Aida64 and Everest programs.
Let's start in order from the very beginning.
Packaging and documents
Few people leave or keep packaging and documents from laptops, but warranty coupons are kept more often. If you still have packaging or documents from your computer, you can look in them. If you still have a warranty card, then it also contains the laptop model.
If you have no packaging, no documents, no warranty card, then I suggest considering the following options.
Front or back panels and stickers
On Asus laptops, a sticker with the model and main characteristics is usually glued to the front.
On notebooks from Fujitsu-Siemens or simply Fujitsu, you can find the name of the line of the personal computer model series.
For example, in the Lifebook line, this designation can be seen in the upper left corner of the laptop. Also, on some models of other brands, the series and model are written in the corner or side of the case.
Look carefully at your laptop, if you are now reading this material from a laptop, you may find letters and numbers of the series or model of your computer.
We look under the battery (battery)
Usually, on the case under the battery and on the battery itself, the model and other data of the laptop from HP, Asus and Acer are written.
I will give an example on an Asus laptop.
As you can see, on the battery this inscription is found in two places, on the front and where the contacts are.
View laptop model in BIOS
Find out the model of your laptop through the BIOS, this is probably one of the fastest and easiest ways. Unless, of course, you have a BIOS password that you do not know. If you do not have it, then you can safely use this method.
To do this, when you turn on the computer, you need to press the buttons several times
We go to the Advanced or Info tab and look at the model of your computer.
Computer properties
You can use the My Computer shortcut on the desktop or through the Start\u003e Computer menu. I already wrote earlier.
Go to Computer \u003e\u003e\u003e Properties \u003e\u003e\u003e Performance counters and tools \u003e\u003e\u003e Display and print detailed information about the performance of the computer and the system.
After that, the Additional computer information window will open in front of you, in which you can view the information you are interested in, as well as print this page.

Command line or CMD
In the black window that appears, you need to enter the combination
After that, you should see the message Name and the model of your laptop. Here's an example:

DirectX Diagnostic Tool
There is another way to see a description of your laptop using DirectX diagnostic tools. To do this, again launch the Run window
This program will help you get detailed information about the installed components and drivers.

Aida64 and Everest programs
If you want to know more about the characteristics of your computer, you can use some third-party programs. I am used to working with Everest, I use Aida64 less often. Of course, there are other programs, but I will not touch on them in this review.
Everest and Aida64 are similar utilities, they have almost the same functionality and interface, only the names are different.
Aida64
We go to Aida, go to the Menu tab, then go to the Motherboard, click the Motherboard and look at the information we are interested in.
Under the properties of the motherboard in the third paragraph of the System plan, the model of your laptop will be written.
I have this Fujitsu Lifebook AH530, you may have a different brand and model.

Everest
Open the folder with the Everest utility and run the file
In the properties of the system, the manufacturer, product, serial number, universal unique ID and the type of awakening will be indicated.

Let's sum up
Today we met with you many ways to find out the model of a laptop and computer. We were helped by: packaging and documents, front or rear panels and stickers, battery and information under it on the case, BIOS program, computer properties, command line, run window with useful commands
You may have questions related to determining the laptop model. You can ask them below in the comments to this article, as well as use the form with me.
Thank you for reading me in
This short note will focus on an interesting situation when you do not know how to find out your laptop model. I think that more advanced laptop users usually remember this data, although I can say for sure that some people forget this information and, by the way, I am no exception. And if you are still a beginner, then this article is for you.
To find out which model of your laptop, just look at the front of the laptoplocated just above the keyboard and at the top or bottom of the display. In the screenshots below, you can clearly see where you can see this data on the example of Dell and Lenovo laptops:
It is very rare, but still can be found when the model is written on the right side at the very bottom of the laptop, for example, like eMachines and Acer laptops.
If the model is not written on the front of the laptop, then turn the laptop upside down and do a detailed examination of it from below. There are usually several stickers stuck there, including the one with the name. The model can be written in different ways:
- With the word MODEL, followed by the number itself.
- Using the abbreviation MB, followed by the number itself.
- Simple spelling of numbers, no auxiliary words.
For example, I showed 2 laptops below: Samsung and Fujitsu.
However, what is written here is not always completely and completely correct, I mean that the model is not fully painted. To make sure for sure, we drive the manufacturer's brand and the model itself into Google and check it. There you can find the most reliable information.
Battery
Sometimes laptop manufacturers can hide this data a little "deeper", for example, on or under the battery.
Information for those who have not removed the battery... Flip the laptop over, find the latches that hold the battery. Usually there are 2 of them, but there are exceptions when there is only one. Then spread them apart and the battery will rise by itself.
Now you can inspect for the data you need. Most often you can find it on the battery itself, but also look underneath it (on a laptop).
Trying to find out the model using standard Windows tools
Now let's look at the option of how to find out the laptop model through the command line. Go to the "Start" menu, type cmd in the search box or use the hot keys "Win" + "R", enter cmd and press "Enter". A window should have appeared with white English writing on a black background. We register the following line here: wmic csproduct get name and press Enter again. The model you are using will appear on the screen, for example "Asus X52J".
As an option, I can also suggest one more thing. We pass in the "Start" menu - "Control Panel" (look at the upper right corner of the window, at the "View" item, set there the value "Small icons" - select "System"). Everything here will be described in detail: the model, the manufacturer, and in general everything, but not everyone will display this information. You can also open this window using an alternative method: "Start", "Computer", but on the last item we click not with the left mouse button, but with the right one. In the drop-down list, select "Properties".
HP Notebook:
BIOS
Now let's talk about how to find out the laptop model directly at startup. You probably already guessed that we are now interested in BIOS. We go into it, look for a tab there that is responsible for displaying this information, look, remember, it's done!
Everest
Of course, I can't mention the additional software, for example I really like Everest. The utility displays the most detailed characteristics of all components of your computer, including of course the laptop model. How to watch it? After starting the program, in the left part of the window, select "Computer", go to "Summary information".
In the "Motherboard" section there is an item of the same name opposite which what you were looking for will be written.
In this article, I have considered far from all the methods of how to find out the model of a laptop, however, I think that the above methods will be enough for everyone. Thank you all for your attention, come again;).
How to find your Samsung laptop model
Why Know Your Laptop Model? It's not a secret for anyone that for the efficient operation of any laptop, it is necessary not only to comply with the standards of careful and careful operation, but also to know the necessary information about it. This information is the exact model of your technique. We will help you find a way out of this situation and tell you how you can find out the model of your laptop.
Remember that you can always seek professional advice from Samsung laptop specialists.
Manual
The first source where you can find out information about the model of your laptop is the manual for its operation, if you have it, of course, although, as practice shows, people rarely save such documents. The downside may be that the manufacturer indicates generalized information of one line for different modifications, i.e. Information may not be complete.
Stickers
The laptop model can be indicated on information stickers located on the bottom or on the front of the gadget. On these elements, in addition to the model, you will also find information from manufacturers and about the laptop series.
It should be noted that stickers are often torn off or rubbed off during operation. Therefore, this option is also not always successful.
Battery
If the stickers on your laptop are not preserved, try going the other way - inspect its battery. This is not difficult at all: On the underside you will see a pair of latches (some laptop models may have one). Slide them to the open position, then remove the protective cover and pull out the power supply. As a rule, on batteries, the manufacturer of the product, as well as its series and model, are always indicated.
System properties
This is another easy method to find out the data about the laptop model in the Windows system. Just right-click on the Computer icon. Then select the "Properties" tab. After this action you will need to find the line "Model".
A command line tool can be used. In the search bar of the "Start" menu, you need to type "cmd" on the keyboard and press Enter.
Alternatively, you can use the Win + R keys, type in cmd and press Enter. In the window that appears with a black background, specify "wmic csproduct get name" and confirm by pressing Enter. The required information will be displayed in the “Name” line.
BIOS
You can also determine the model in the BIOS menu. Press Fn + F2 or, depending on the model, repeatedly press the Del, F2, or Esc keys to enter the menu while the laptop is rebooting. Next, you will need to find and click on the "Info" option. In this section you will find all the information about your laptop, including the model.
There are many ways, for example using an add-on program like Everest. But these are the simplest and most affordable. Depending on the situation, such simple methods will allow you to find out the exact model of your laptop very quickly.
Lenovo is currently ranked fourth in the world's top five PC manufacturers. The company's arsenal includes desktops, laptops, mobile phones, smartphones, netbooks and even servers, monitors, tablets, video cards. And this is despite such additions to all of the above, as mice, keyboards, memory modules, optical drives, power supplies, software and accessories, as well as covers, bags for laptops. The breadth of the company's portfolio is impressive, and filling the consumer market with Lenovo's electronics needs significant support. Lenovo's specialized service center carries out it in many cities, especially in large centers of the country.
Today there is a rather widespread tendency to go not to specialized service centers, but to little-known "but very understanding" technicians. When making such a choice, it is worthwhile to understand that the Lenovo service center is directly engaged exclusively in this type of technology and electronics and one hundred percent knows the intricacies of this particular company. Moreover, Lenovo Service Center has the ability to cooperate promptly with other specialized companies that supply the necessary genuine parts for Lenovo technology.
It is worth noting that most of the gadgets that are manufactured by this company have a wide range of non-standard and unique parts that can be found in few places. This is a known problem with Lenovo devices, but it is being solved by experts. Only a Lenovo service center is able to get such necessary parts for a laptop as, for example, a matrix or original backlight lamps. In any case, if you have any problems with the electronics of this company, you should contact the Lenovo service center, and here's why:
1. Only specialists can guarantee the quality of the work performed, with a complete diagnosis and determination of the exact cause of the problem.
2. Exclusively in the Lenovo service center, if necessary, you will be offered to replace the non-working part with the original one. You can get an original part only by ordering it somewhere in advance, or from another phone, but in the center it comes directly in the shortest possible time.
3. Lenovo service centers carry out maintenance of all the company's equipment, as they have selected and trained specialists directly to service Lenovo.

5. Service of any product of Lenovo manufacturer can take place in any of the services after the end of the warranty period.
On the Lenovo service center website, you can verify the list of gadgets that need to be repaired, as well as see the pricing policy (if the repair is not covered by the warranty) and the location of the nearest service department. Among them, you will see services for the repair of tablets, laptops, netbooks, monoblocks at low prices. The foremen performing repair work not only replace parts, but also thoroughly understand the essence of the problem, doing everything possible to avoid a recurrence of the incident.

replacement of parts, including the matrix of an electronic device. The size of its diagonal is not important, since the Lenovo service center works directly with the company's suppliers;
repair of the matrix and other elements of equipment. Masters undertake repairs only after a thorough investigation and diagnosis of the problem, when the cause is found, and the repair solution becomes obvious to them;
complex repair of the entire device, which may be necessary in case of major breakdowns, for example, after a gadget has fallen from a great height, etc.

the hardware and software complex necessary for full repair and diagnostics.
Moreover, each Lenovo service center offers even simpler services, for example, qualified consultations to customers who wish to purchase electronics and equipment from this manufacturer. The specialists in the center have experience working with many devices, as well as deep knowledge in each of them, therefore consultations on the correct operation, use of individual functions of the device, etc. also provided directly by Lenovo service centers. Other offers include a change, software update for laptops, netbooks or stationary PCs.
Thus, the decision to use the services of the Lenovo service center is the most correct if your gadget began to work incorrectly, or if specific functions are not revoked, as well as in case of absolutely any problems or questions in the field of technology and electronic technologies of Lenovo.
