User question.
Hello.
Please tell me with one question. I have a SAMSUNG RV508 laptop. But the fact is that I need to know its exact modification, since RV508 is just a model range, and in it (as far as I know today) there can be three types!
So, where can you see the exact 100% modification of the device?
Good day!
In fact, not every laptop has a sticker next to the keyboard that can be used to immediately identify the device; sometimes you have to spend a little more time ✌.
But exact modification may be needed when you decide to upgrade your device, update drivers (especially when eliminating driver conflicts), update the BIOS, buy a case, etc.
In this article I will show several ways to solve this issue. So...
Method No. 1: stickers on the case, documents for the device
It is logical that the simplest and most obvious place to start is by inspecting the documents that came with your device (if, of course, they remained) and the stickers on the laptop case. By the way, many people mistakenly believe that there are 1-2 stickers on a laptop, which they see next to the keyboard (as in the example below). And if the model is not indicated on such a sticker, then that’s it, you need to look for the treasured programs...
Sticker on the case next to the keyboard - the modification is not indicated on it // Lenovo B70
Not at all! If you turn off the laptop and turn it over, then in most cases (99%) there will be additional stickers from your device manufacturer on the back wall. As a rule, it contains very detailed information: the exact model and modification of your laptop (example below).
Exact laptop model: sticker on the back of the device / Lenovo B7080, model: 80MR
However, below I will give a few more ways if suddenly the sticker has faded or is missing (or there is no time to turn off the device and turn it over 😉) ...
Method number 2: using information in Windows
MSINFO32 - system information
Quite an informative method, it works in all popular versions of Windows: XP, 7, 8, 10. In order to open information about the system, you need:
- press a combination of buttons Win+R;
- enter the command msinfo32;
- press Enter.
System Information
DXDIAG - information about DirectX
Through the DirectX diagnostic tool you can also find out some information about your device (including that which we are pursuing in this article ☺).
To begin with, also call the window "Run"(Win+R key combination) and enter the command dxdiag .
After a moment, the DirectX diagnostic window will open. In principle, on the first screen you should see information about the system: among which will be the model and manufacturer of your device (example below).
CMD - Command Line
Through the command line you can still get a bunch of information about your computer/laptop, manage it and set settings that are not available from other places...
To open the command line: click Win+R, then enter the command CMD and press Enter(example below).
To help!
Other ways to open the command line in different Windows operating systems -
1) SYSTEMINFO
This team (note: SYSTEMINFO) allows you to get quite a lot of information about your Windows OS, processor, device model, etc. The screenshot below shows where to look for the model and manufacturer of the system (that is, laptop).
2) wmic csproduct get name
Another command that will directly show only the laptop model. In my opinion, it’s not entirely informative (especially with some devices) - you can only see the modification of your device, but not the manufacturer and model (as in the example below).
Method number 3: using special utilities
In general, I personally recommend having at least 1 utility on your computer that can show maximum information about your system, temperature, hardware, etc. For many problems, such a utility will help you out more than once. I wrote about such utilities in one of my articles (I will provide the link below).
To help!
How to find out the characteristics of a computer (laptop) - the best utilities:
One of the best utilities (in my opinion) is AIDA 64 (Everest). It allows you to find out as much information as possible about your laptop, about any of your hardware installed in your PC. As for the device model: you can open the tab "Computer/Summary information" (or the section on system board information). An example is shown in the screenshot below.
For those who are not satisfied with this utility for one reason or another, you will find its analogs at the link above: Speccy, CPUZ, Astra 32, etc.
Method number 4: using BIOS
If you go into the BIOS, it’s usually on the first screen (usually in English it is called as Main or Information) You should see information about the hardware and its manufacturer. You can find the following data: product name (device model), serial number, BIOS version, processor model, hard drive model, amount of RAM, etc. An example is shown in the photo below.

By the way, I came across HP laptops in which all of the above methods did not work (that is, the exact modification could not be determined). In this case, either look for documents for the device, or use auto-search for drivers. See screenshot below.
Auto-detection of device modification on the HP website works fine, see example below 👀...
I think that the methods presented above are more than enough to accurately identify and repeatedly cross-check the manufacturer of your device.
I am glad to welcome you, dear friends, to my blog. Today we will talk about how to find out the laptop model and I will tell you about several quick ways to do this check. There may be several reasons why you may need the exact laptop model. For example, the laptop battery has stopped working and is not charging, the power supply is broken, the keyboard does not work, etc. In each of these cases, you need to order separate non-working elements, and here you will need your laptop model.
Knowing it, you can safely order the same battery or power supply through an online store that fits your laptop.
How to determine the laptop model
1) Documentation and packaging for the laptop.
Try to remember where you have the old packaging (box) from your laptop or any documentation associated with it. This could be an instruction manual, a warranty card, etc. Any of the documents listed above must indicate the model of your laptop.
If the laptop box and documentation are not available, move on to the next option.
2) Laptop model on the front or back panel and stickers.
Very often, to determine the model of your laptop, you just need to carefully look at the front or back panel of your device, where, as a rule, its model is indicated. For example, on HP laptops such information is located on the right, immediately below the monitor.
The Asus line of laptops has a sticker under the keyboard on the right side.
Sometimes the laptop model is indicated on the back panel.
So, carefully inspect your device again to find the inscription you need.
3) Panel under the battery.
Turn off your laptop and carefully remove the battery from the back panel (usually it is secured with special sliding latches). Carefully inspect the free space on the panel under the battery to find the model of your device. Here's an example with my laptop.
You have already understood everything about how to find out a laptop model using a physical examination, let’s proceed to software methods of determination.
4) Find out the laptop model in the BIOS.
When booting your laptop, you must press the Delete or F2 key several times, in Hewlett-Packard laptop models, the F10 key (there should be a hint on the monitor screen). After this, you will be taken to the BIOS, where by going to the Advanced or Info tab you can see the manufacturer and model of your device.
5) How to find out your laptop model using the command line.
Press the key combination on the keyboard:
And in the window that appears, enter the command – cmd. Click the OK button.
In a new black window, enter the following command:
wmic csproduct get name
and press Enter.
The laptop model will be displayed in front of you.
6) DirectX Diagnostic Tool.
Key combination:
open the window – Run and enter the command – dxdiag. Click the OK button.
A window will appear where the model of your device will be displayed on the first tab.
7) Everest program.
With the program and unzip it. From the folder with the program, run the file - everest_start.exe and wait for the program to fully load.
Go to the left menu at the address: Computer – DMI and on the right side select System.
Below in the window you will see your laptop model.
8) Aida64 program.
This program is almost identical to the Everest program, but it is still worth considering. So, download the program to this page, and we install it. After launch, in the left menu, go to the Motherboard - System Board tab and in the right window, opposite the Motherboard item, your laptop model will be indicated.
All friends, now you know how to determine the laptop model thanks to the methods described above. Some of them will fit 100%.
And that's all I have, subscribe to blog updates, there is a lot of interesting things ahead.
See you soon!
Every user always faces the question of the model of his laptop. The reasons can be different: you need new software, you need to competently ask for advice on computer forums, or you need to take the device in for repair. To find out the exact laptop model, there are several simple ways.
The PC system code is contained in:
Information in the instructions
If you do not have access to your PC, or it is broken and you are afraid to touch it, then the best solution is to look for the name of your device in the instructions or on the box. The product system code is located directly on the front of the box or on the back of it, in the product description. If you are unable to find it, you should get all the documentation for your device and look there.
There is no need to look for the PC system code in the operating instructions - they review the entire product line at once, and the only thing you can extract from there is the product brand. You need to pay attention to the warranty card and other similar papers, where the full name of the model is indicated several times at once, all the nuances are included, the installed operating system, and so on. This paper will be useful if you try to return the device under warranty - do not throw it away.
If the first method did not help you, you do not have a box with instructions, feel free to move on to the next step.
Front Panel
If the laptop is left without documents, Modern laptops have a line on the front panel - the name and brand of the product. If you need the exact system code of the product, then this method will not work - only the general name of the model is indicated here, without a description of modifications, assembly versions, or year of manufacture.
Photo: laptop model sticker on the panel
The required line can be above the screen, below it, next to the touchpad, near the hot keys. Inspect all these places, and if you still cannot find the name of your device.
Looking under the battery
The last “manual” way to determine the model is to remove the battery. If you have never done this, carefully turn the device over and place it on a stable surface. Inspect the panel: at the top or bottom edge you will find a rectangular piece separated from the rest by a small cutout.
Pay attention to nearby buttons and levers - there should be signs nearby explaining the sequence of their presses. Push and pull them and then carefully remove the battery. Under it you will find many different icons and inscriptions, look among them.
This option will work in almost every case, unless the inscriptions are erased. In this case, the only option left is to look in the internal software.
Sometimes the name is contained in the factory stickers present on the bottom of the device. Inspect them, these decals rarely rub off due to the durability of the stickers. Sometimes, although very rarely, the stickers themselves come off. If this happens, you did not find any designations, you will have to find the device name through the laptop itself, or rather in the information contained in the system files.
How to find out your laptop model via the command line
The fastest way to find out the name of a laptop model is to enter the corresponding inscription in the command line.
To do this, you will need to do the following sequence of clicks:
If you need to find out not only the name of the device, but also its other characteristics and parameters, you need to use third-party software.
Programs
The Internet contains a huge number of utilities in order to find out a complete summary of the characteristics of your PC. Let's look at some of them:
EVEREST- one of the most common and convenient in this category, it shows all the properties of the PC, including installed software and drivers. EVEREST is paid, weight 10.6 MB.
CPU-z is a small utility that shows a summary of your device, the main advantages are fast scanning, fast installation and fast downloading. Of the minuses, it displays only basic information on the screen, without software and without drivers. CPU-z is free, weight 1.5 MB.
HWMonitor is a free utility that reads information about a PC. It is capable of reading data from sensors located on ventilation systems, the processor, etc. This allows the user to know the voltage, temperature of the main parts of the device. HWMonitor is free, weighs 1.1 MB.
SiSoftware Sandra Lite- a free utility for viewing information about a PC, the main feature of which is the ability to diagnose drivers and search for errors in hardware. SiSoftware Sandra Lite is quite large, 66 MB, but is distributed free of charge.
As you can see, the choice is quite wide. From this list, select the program you like and install. Next, we will look at several of the most powerful programs in more detail.
Among them:
- popular Everest;
- new AIDA64;
Video: system information
Popular Everest
The Everest utility is available in two versions: Home and Ultimate edition. It can not only show the computer system code and the exact characteristics of all its components, but also help configure your device for the best operation.
If you see an error when opening the program, just run it as an administrator, this will solve all the problems.
To find out the device name, do the following chain of actions:
The full version includes additional modules such as system monitoring functions (visual indicators of the most important information about your computer), performance tests and other features. This version costs 1410 rubles, there is a free demo version. The utility is the most complete and widespread among many users. The PC information it provides goes on for hundreds of pages. More than enough for the average user.
The disadvantages include the difficulty of working with the latest systems, problems with installation on Windows 7 and 8. This is due to the cessation of support for the program from the developers. If you were unable to start the program, proceed to the next step.
New AIDA64
Another powerful utility is AIDA64, which is Everest updated for modern systems and computers. It costs money, but you can use a free demo that works for 30 days. The interface is identical to the previous program, so you will not have any additional difficulties.
To find out the name of your computer, just click the same sequence as in Everest - Computer → DMI → System → the line you need is located at the bottom of the window that opens. The advantages of this program compared to the higher one are that it works with modern systems and is supported by its developers.
Belarc Analysis complex
The latest utility is the Belarc Analysis complex, which, like the previous ones, will help you find out not only the full name of your device, but can also serve you well in diagnostics.
Once launched, it will automatically scan your computer and display all information about your device. You can find the name in the “System Model” section, which is located at the top of the window.
Details in BIOS
If your computer does not load the operating system, and you do not find any inscriptions on its surface, do not despair. The system loading screen will help you. For some models, the name is written when turned on - look at the inscriptions that appear when loading. If there is nothing there, you will have to enable the BIOS.
Different computers use different buttons to enter the BIOS. When you turn on the PC, you will see inscriptions at the bottom - pay attention to the signs F1, F12, delete, F8. Check the inscription following these keys - choose the one next to which there are the words BOOT, BIOS. Press the appropriate key on the keyboard. This needs to be done when the window with the inscriptions is on; when the Windows logo appears, it is too late to do this.
There are a variety of BIOS versions available on PCs. But in each of them there is the name of the device. It can be either on the very first screen or on other tabs - click on the top inscriptions. Be careful! If you feel like you're doing something wrong, reboot.
Remember, this method is the most difficult and the most dangerous for the device. Use it as a last resort when others have not helped.
We hope these methods helped you. An effective method is best written down on a piece of paper and saved - who knows when you will need the system code of your computer. If you couldn’t find out anything, you can try going to computer forums, posting a photo of your device there - specialists will determine the code of your device. You will have to wait at least several hours for their response.
How to find out your Samsung laptop model
Why do you need to know your laptop model? It's no secret that for any laptop to operate effectively, it is necessary not only to comply with the rules of careful and careful operation, but also to know the necessary information about it. This information is the exact model of your equipment. 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 your laptop model is its operating manual, if, of course, you have one, although, as practice shows, people save such documents extremely rarely. The downside may be that the manufacturer indicates generalized information from one line for different modifications, i.e. Information may not be complete.
Stickers
The laptop model can be indicated on information stickers that are placed on the bottom or front of the gadget. On these elements, in addition to the model, you will also find information from the manufacturers and about the laptop series.
It is worth noting that stickers often get torn off or rubbed off during use. 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 at all difficult to do: On the bottom side you will see a pair of latches (some laptop models may have one latch). Move them to the open position, then remove the protective cover and pull out the power supply. As a rule, batteries always indicate the manufacturer of the product, as well as its series and model.
Properties of the system
This is another easy method to find out information about the laptop model in Windows. Just right-click on the “Computer” icon. Next, select the “Properties” tab. After this action, you will need to find the “Model” line.
You can use the command line tool. In the search bar of the Start menu, type “cmd” on your keyboard and press Enter.
You can also use the “Win” + “R” keys, type “cmd” and press Enter. In the window that appears with a black background, enter “wmic csproduct get name” and confirm by pressing Enter. The information you need will be displayed in the “Name” line.
BIOS
You can also determine the model in the BIOS menu. To enter the menu while the laptop is rebooting, press Fn+F2 or, depending on the model, repeatedly press the Del, F2, or Esc keys. 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 additional program like Everest. But these are the simplest and most accessible. Depending on the situation, such simple methods will allow you to find out the exact model of your laptop very quickly.
Many users, no matter how long they have had their computer in use, are unable to name the exact name of its model. And, in principle, they can easily do without it. However, there are situations when you need to indicate the exact name of your device. For example, when manually downloading drivers from the manufacturer’s website, where each specific model has its own set. Or when contacting technical support.
This article will discuss how to find out the model name of an Asus laptop. Despite this, all of the methods described below are suitable for computers from other manufacturers. 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 so simple, so this article can help everyone, even self-confident users.
Asus, not including it
There are two common methods:
- You can find out the laptop model from the package of papers supplied with the device. It includes an instruction manual, as well as a receipt document from the store. However, it happens that the manual only indicates the model range (the name of the laptop series), and not the number of a specific device.
- How to find out what model of Asus laptop? In case the model range is not enough for you, you can always refer to the special factory sticker, which is usually 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’s okay if the packaging documentation is lost or the label is damaged in some way. 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 at the bottom (you can also hold down R). Then type cmd - this will open the command prompt. In it, enter the command wmic csproduct get name, then press the Enter key. The next line will display a message with the name of your device.
It is not necessary to use the command bar. There is another way to find out the device model: open “Run” and insert the dxdiag command in the input line. The Diagnostic Tool window appears. It will open immediately on the tab you need - “System”. Your laptop model will be listed in the “Computer Model” section.
You can find out comprehensive information on the laptop, including the name of the device model, by following 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 by using third-party programs. For example, using To do this, open the folder with the program and run the file with the extension .exe. There may be two of them at once, but any one 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 Asus laptop model 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 error. You need to contact support, but you do not know the name of the device.
First, let's talk about how to get into the BIOS. The methods may differ depending on the device model, but there’s nothing wrong with that: there aren’t that many options. Try pressing the Esc key when 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 doesn't do anything, 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.
