What laptop am I on?
One click. We read your browser's standard hints — OS, RAM class, screen, GPU — and translate them into plain English. Nothing is uploaded.
If you want the exact model number
Browsers cannot see the model name burned into your laptop's BIOS — that would be a privacy hole. To get the exact model (e.g. "HP Pavilion 15-eg2024na" instead of "Windows laptop, Intel graphics"), run one of these:
Windows 10 and 11
Press Windows + R, type msinfo32, press Enter. Look at the lines marked System Manufacturer and System Model. Done.
Prefer the command line? Open PowerShell and paste:
Get-CimInstance Win32_ComputerSystem | Select Manufacturer, Model
macOS
Click the Apple logo (top-left) → About This Mac. The model name and year are at the top of the window. For the serial number, click More Info.
Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, Arch)
Open a terminal:
sudo dmidecode -t system | grep -E "Manufacturer|Product Name"
If dmidecode is not installed: sudo apt install dmidecode on Debian/Ubuntu, sudo dnf install dmidecode on Fedora.
Chromebook
Open Chrome, navigate to chrome://system and search for hardware_class. The string that appears (e.g. NAUTILUS C7B-K7E-A4F) maps to a model — paste it into Google with the word "Chromebook" appended.
What the tool above can tell — and what it cannot
The tool reads four browser APIs:
- User-Agent and User-Agent Client Hints — gives operating system and browser version. Modern Chrome, Edge and Brave also expose platform architecture (x86 vs ARM) on Windows and macOS.
navigator.deviceMemory— a rounded RAM hint (1, 2, 4, 8 or "8 or more"). Chrome and Edge expose it; Safari does not.navigator.hardwareConcurrency— number of logical CPU cores.- WebGL renderer string — the GPU name as the driver reports it. On Windows Chrome this is wrapped in
ANGLE(...); we strip that automatically.
What it cannot tell you: the exact model number, the serial number, the storage size, or the battery health. None of those are exposed to web pages — for good reason.
Why your laptop is harder to identify than you think
Laptop SKUs are bewildering. HP alone shipped over 600 distinct Pavilion models in the last five years; Lenovo's ThinkPad line has more than 800. Two laptops with the same name on the lid can have wildly different internals — different CPUs, different screens, different keyboards. The model number sticker on the bottom (or the line in msinfo32) is the only definitive answer.
If you are trying to identify a laptop in order to buy a replacement part — keyboard, battery, charger, RAM, SSD — the model number is essential. A "13-inch Dell Inspiron from 2021" tells you nothing useful; "Dell Inspiron 13 5310" tells the parts catalogue exactly which clip pattern, screw layout and connector to ship.
