Why laptop identification is harder than it should be

HP alone has shipped over 600 distinct Pavilion models in the last five years. Lenovo's ThinkPad line counts more than 800. Two laptops with the same name on the lid can have wildly different internals — different CPUs, different screens, different keyboards. That is why "I have an HP Pavilion 15" is not enough information for a parts replacement and why Google searches for "what laptop do I have" run into the millions every month.

The guides above tell you exactly how to get the model number that resolves the ambiguity. Five minutes, no software install required.
