The variety of portable devices offered on the market today requires the buyer to be a little aware of the parameters by which laptops are selected so that the purchase turns out to be profitable and beneficial to its owner.

Computer manufacturers make several modifications to specific types of laptops that generally look the same on the outside. Depending on the power of the device, the amount of storage devices, etc. The cost of different laptop models will be different.

In most cases, the name of the product line is applied on the front of the devices, knowledge of which is not enough in some cases.

The question of how to find out the laptop model becomes relevant under the following circumstances:

Depending on the brands of devices (Samsung, HP, Dell, MSI, etc.), information about its model is obtained in different ways.

For Acer laptops, the model name is displayed on a sticker located in the lower left corner next to the keyboard. As a rule, over time, this information is erased due to constant contact with the user's hands. For convenience, the manufacturer duplicates the necessary information on the back of the laptop. It is necessary to turn the device over and read the name from the sticker, where, for example:

Aspire 5560 - laptop series;
MS 2319 - the name of the laptop model;
Aspire 5560G-8356G50Mnkk is the exact series and model of the instrument that is needed to determine its configuration.

The manufacturer of the Samsung brand puts information about the model of a portable computer on its reverse side, which is a combination of letters and numbers (for example, NP 300 E 5 A - SO 8 RU). It is enough for the user to enter this value in any search engine to get information about the configuration of the Samsung laptop. When downloading software for Samsung, you must know the full name of the laptop model.

HP (Hewlett-Packard) - how to find out the laptop model

HP laptop brands include model names under the battery. To do this, carefully turn the device over, use a special latch to open the battery cover and remove it. The exact information about an HP laptop looks like (as an example):

Series - CND 23111F8;
Model HP - M6-1032ER.

Find out the exact model of a Lenovo laptop

For Lenovo laptop computers, the model name information is located on the side or back cover, which contains an engraving or sticker containing an alphanumeric value for the exact serial number, type, and model of the device. For the convenience of users, the manufacturer Lenovo often duplicates the name of the type of laptop on its front panel next to the screen.

Asus laptops

Finding out the name of the Asus model is not difficult. It is enough to close the lid, turn the device over and read the information contained on the sticker on the back of the laptop. To correctly read the alphanumeric code of the Asus model, you should ignore the third to fifth characters in its entire name.

MSI laptops

Like most manufacturers, MSI contains information about the model name on the back of the portable device, which is a combination of letters and numbers (for example, MS-1335).

When loading the instrument's BIOS, the information you need can be found at the bottom of the screen.

Dell laptops contain a serial number on the back cover, by driving it on the official website of the manufacturer, you can find out the exact model number of the user's device. Typically, this method is used when there is no second sticker on the back of the Dell laptop containing model information (for example, Inspirion 5010 - 8857).

As practice shows, almost all laptop manufacturers indicate information about the series and type on a sticker located on the back cover of the device. If the information is erased, then you need to open the cover of the device, which contains the necessary information.

The answer to the question of how to find out the laptop model can be obtained from the technical documentation, warranty card or device packaging box, which are always included in the package.

Microsoft offers the user their own ways to obtain the necessary information. To do this, just enter the command "wmi csproduct get name". Also, the combination of the Win and R keys brings up the "System Information" window, where the user is offered an extensive information list with the characteristics of the installed system on the laptop.

In the Windows operating system, you must select the properties of "my computer", after which the name of the manufacturer, device name, processor characteristics, memory size, etc. will be displayed.

Using the BIOS is one of the most accessible ways to get the instrument model name. The algorithm is quite simple. When you start the laptop, you need to press the "Delete" and F2 keys several times (in some cases 10). The details are in the Info or Advanced tab.

The programmers also developed a number of simple programs that provide information about the laptop model: AIDA 64, Belarc Advisor. The latter does not support the Russian language, but is free and takes up little space on the user's computer. AIDA 64 is paid software with a 30 day free trial.

The above methods for obtaining information about the exact name of the type and series of portable computers are available to most users and do not require special education and skills.

Whatever brand your device is, there is a lot of information associated with it that is easy to get confused: motherboard model, unique ID, and so on. Everything is far from being so simple, so this article can help everyone, even a self-confident user.

Asus not including it

There are two common ways:

You can find out the laptop model from the package of papers offered for the device. It includes an instruction manual, as well as a receipt document from the store. However, it happens that the manual indicates only the model range (name of the series of laptops), and not the number of a specific device.
How to find out which model of Asus laptop? In case the model range is not enough for you, you can always refer to a special factory sticker, which, as a rule, is located on the bottom of the laptop and on the box. It contains the following data: laptop and motherboard model, barcode and serial number. See the name of the device after the word MODEL. Please note that the third, fourth and fifth characters from the name are not taken into account.

How to find out the Asus laptop model from the operating system?

It is not scary if the documentation with the packaging is lost, and the label is somehow damaged. All information can be easily obtained directly from the operating system. To do this, we will tell you how to find out the Asus laptop model through the command line. To do this, open the parameter input line. You can open it via START/Run. Or in Windows 10, type "Run" in the search, which is located on the bottom (you can also hold R). Then type cmd - this will open the command prompt. In it, enter the wmic csproduct get name command, and then press the "Enter" (Enter) key. The next line will display a message with the name of your device.

Using the command panel is optional. There is another way to find out the device model: open "Run" and paste the dxdiag command in the input line. The Diagnostic Tool window will appear. It will open immediately on the tab you need - "System". Your laptop model will be listed under Computer Model.

Comprehensive information on the laptop, including the name of the device model, you can find out by going to the following path: START / Control Panel / System and Security / System. Or right-click on the "My Computer" icon and select "Properties". In the tenth version of Windows, again, you can use the search. To do this, simply enter in the line: "System".

How to find out the model name using third-party programs

In addition to finding out the Asus laptop model, you can get a lot of useful information about your computer using third-party programs. For example, using To do this, open the folder with the program and run the file with the .exe extension. There may be two of them at once, but any will do. In the program window that opens, follow the following path: Menu / Computer / DMI / System. In the system properties, at the bottom of the window, the manufacturer, device model name, serial number and unique ID will be indicated.

Another way

You can also find out which model of Asus laptop is through Bios. This method will be needed in a situation where the documentation with the packaging is lost, the label is damaged and you cannot log in to the system due to some kind of error. You need to contact support, but you do not know the name of the device.

To begin with, how to get into the BIOS. The methods may differ depending on the device model, but there is nothing wrong with that: there are not so many options. Try pressing the Esc key while loading the manufacturer's logo. A black screen should appear, where you need to find a line with the text Enter to setup ... Instead of an ellipsis, a key or combination of buttons will be indicated that must be pressed to enter the BIOS. This inscription can be at the top of the screen, at the end of the text or at the very bottom. If pressing the Esc key didn't work, try one of these options the next time you boot: F2, Ctrl + F2, or Del. So, you went to BIOS. You can find out the name of your device in the Main tab or, in some cases, by pressing the F12 key.
