What is the easiest way to check the model number of a laptop

The most proven method is to look at the information in the documentation that comes with the purchase of any laptop. As practice shows, the user manual is very often lost over time. However, if you still have the packaging from the gadget, inside you«re guaranteed to find data about the model.

You can also look at the stickers that are applied by the developer. Most often they«re on the back of the device. They contain full information about the device, including the manufacturer, series, and model. However, this isn«t the only type of labeling for laptops. If the stickers are erased for some reason or the information on them is unreadable, don«t feel bad. Try to find the model name on the laptop«s battery.

To do this you need to remove the battery by unlocking the special latches that are located on the edges of the battery. There can be two such latches. If you don«t see any latches, it means that the battery is hidden under the cover. You will have to unscrew it completely with a screwdriver and remove it. After that, pull out the battery and turn it over. It will have the manufacturer written on the back, as well as the series and model.
