How to find out your Asus laptop motherboard model

The very name "motherboard" hints at the exceptional importance of this element of the computer, because it is to it that the rest of the vital "organs" of the PC are connected: HDD, video card, processor, RAM... If, again, you do not have any instructions or boxes, use the above Windows tools or download special programs.

First, you can invoke the command line again. However, the commands entered will be wmic baseboard get Manufacturer and wmic baseboard get product. The first will give us information about the manufacturer, and the second - a value that reflects its model.

Secondly, the same Everest program, as mentioned above, displays data about all the "internals" of the device, including the motherboard. If you are not satisfied with this program, you can download any other analogue of it to determine the PC parameters, for example, CPU-Z or AIDA64.

How to find out your Asus laptop model and get to the bottom of the motherboard if your computer is broken and won't turn on? You need to disassemble it. Be careful: often, if the warranty is still valid, but traces of interference are visible, service centers refuse to carry out free repairs, arguing that the breakdown was caused by the user's actions.

If you still decide to get to the motherboard on your own, then you need to tinker for a long time and tediously - after all, first you have to remove a lot of other elements from it (it is advisable to do this very carefully so as not to break anything). What is left will look something like this:

I continue to talk about how to identify the device model. If the last time I talked about, then today is the turn of laptops. Straight off the traditional question - why do you need to know the device model? For example, in order to download the "correct" driver that is right for your laptop, or to replace the battery.

By the way, in the case of a laptop, you can find out the model in 99.9% of cases. Now you will be convinced of this.

We look at the packaging

The first step, of course, is to turn your attention to the laptop packaging. In some cases, the packaging can be colorful, it shows your device and its name is written next to it. If the box is the simplest one and only the manufacturer's name is on it, then there must be a sticker somewhere on which all the parameters of the laptop are indicated. There simply cannot be such a sticker, so look better.

In addition, the package always contains instructions for the device, on which the name of the device is written in black and white.

The method is relevant for those cases if you did not have time to get rid of the packaging.

Front Panel

Some manufacturers list the laptop model right next to the screen. This, in particular, is what HP does - in some cases you can find a small marking under the screen (other manufacturers may indicate the marking above the screen). An example is shown below in the picture:

Back cover

If you do not see the model name in front of you, then there is a reason to turn the laptop over. On his back cover there is a small sticker with the model name and some characteristics of the device.

Often this is not even a sticker, but a kind of engraving - the letters are printed directly on the plastic, so the information will not go anywhere.

Under the battery

In some cases, you can find the inscriptions under the battery. Gently remove the battery and see if there is any writing underneath. I want to say right away that few manufacturers do this, so there is a great risk that you will not find anything.

But the inscriptions on the battery itself do not say anything. As a rule, only the name of the model of the battery itself can be found on them, which in turn can be used on various devices.

dxdiag

Turn on the device, and after it starts, click on the "Start" button and in the "Find programs and files" line write dxdiag (this is a DirectX diagnostic tool). Then run the program of the same name and wait a while while it collects data.

On the "System" tab, you can see various information about your device. Take a look at the line "Computer Model", where the name of your device will be indicated.

Command line

Other standard Windows tool that can help us is.

To use the command line, go to "Start" - "All Programs" - "Accessories" - "Command Line". Or in the line "Find programs and files" write the word cmd.

So, command line launched. Write wmi csproduct get name without quotes and other symbols, then press Enter.

Voila, we see a laptop model. I want to note that in some cases the manufacturer's name is present on the command line, while in others it is absent.

BIOS

Alternatively, you can use the information that is available in the BIOS. About how to enter it, I in detail some time ago, so I will not repeat myself.

So, the BIOS is running. Now you need to find the tab with information about your device. Most often it is called Info. It contains almost all information about the laptop, including the model and type of processor, hard disk, name of additional components, etc.

In the Product Name column, you will see the name of the laptop.

Third party programs

If it so happens that you can't find the model name of your device in any way, then as a last resort you can use third-party software that collects absolutely all information about your laptop.

There are a great many such programs. By tradition, I will tell you about one of the most famous and popular programs called Everest. I want to remind you right away that this program is paid, but for the first 30 days the developer will not charge you a fee, so for some time you can use Everest for free.

Download Everest from the official website, install it on your computer and run it. Next, open the tabs "Computer" - "Summary information" and on the right in the column " Motherboard»We see the name of our laptop.

P.S. All of these methods are suitable for any laptops: HP, ASUS, Lenovo, Samsung, Dell, Acer, Toshiba, etc.

That's all. I sincerely hope that the information presented here will help you find your laptop model. If you have any questions - ask.

In some cases, the user needs to know the model of his laptop. This information may be required, for example, to order components in the event of a failure of some components or to update the hardware of a portable device. If mobile computer was purchased recently, then, most likely, its name has not yet been erased from memory, but if a lot of time has passed since the moment of purchase, then you will need to look for the necessary data here. In our article, we will just tell you where to see the laptop model, its serial number and other information on the device. The manual is suitable for any PC brands: Asus, HP, Lenovo, Acer, Samsung, Toshiba, etc.

Documentation and laptop case

When buying a computer, a lot of various papers are transferred along with it: sales and cash receipts, a warranty card, an operation manual. In any of them, the model of the laptop is indicated, so if the documents are not lost and are nearby, then the necessary information can be gleaned from them. In addition, the details of the laptop are probably displayed on the original box in which it was packed.

You can also see the laptop model on the stickers located on the device case. Stickers are often found on the front, next to the keyboard and touchpad, or on the back.

In addition to the model, the sticker may contain another useful information- serial number, mac-address, processor type and other characteristics.

Getting data from BIOS

Another easy way to find out the laptop model is to find it in the BIOS. The information we are interested in will be located on home page in the line with the parameter Product Name.

The name of the portable device also appears in the panel DirectX... To open it by pressing the keys Win + R run the "Run" line and enter the command dxdiag... Then press Enter and in the window that appears on the "System" tab we find the "Computer Model" parameter. This is exactly what we need.

System information

By analogy with DirectX, the "System Information" utility is launched, which is also able to answer the question of how to find out the laptop model. The only difference is that in the "Run" window you must enter msinfo32.

Command line

The classic team can also determine the model of your laptop. Windows string... We call it using the "Run" window (command cmd) or the Start menu. Next, in the window, enter wmic csproduct get name.

Using special utilities

Detailed information about the PC is provided by various diagnostic programs - HWMonitor, Everest, AIDA64. We will not consider everything, let's take the last one as an example. After installing and launching the application, go to the branch Computer - DMI - System... Next to the "Product" parameter, look at the laptop model.

Device name in HP Support Assistant

In addition to all of the above methods of determining the computer model, owners of HP notebooks have the opportunity to use special utility HP Support Assistant... If for some reason it is not installed on your Hewlett Packard device, then go to the manufacturer's official website http://support.hp.com/ and download it from there. You can view the laptop model at once on several pages of the application.
