How to View Laptop Specifications – Laptops or computers have now become a tool that must be owned, especially for people who work in offices, business people, freelancers and many other jobs that require laptops.

Before buying a new or used laptop, there are things you need to pay attention to. When buying a laptop, apart from paying attention to the appearance of the body, you also have to know and look at the specifications of the laptop.

Why do you need to check the specifications of the laptop you are using?

Yes… so you know the limitations and capabilities of the laptop itself. By knowing the laptop specifications, you know this laptop is capable of running any program.

For example, if you are a content creator, you want to install a video editing application such as Adobe Premiere Pro, you have to look at the minimum specifications required to run it.

So, if your laptop meets the standard requirements of Adobe Premiere Pro, no problem! But if it’s the other way around, the laptop will be slow and could even hang if forced.

To install an application you have to look at the laptop specs and how many bits are used. Don’t worry, in this content you can also find out about 32 bit or 64 bit laptops.

Knowing the laptop specs is also very useful if in the future you want to upgrade laptop components, such as adding RAM, replacing HDD, SSHD, SSD or M.2 SSD storage.

If you buy a new laptop, you will definitely get a box, some papers and a laptop manual in it.

Try checking the box and manual if you still have it. There should be information about laptop specifications such as processor, RAM, VGA, screen, hard disk and much more.

Well, desktop computers are different, because each component uses a different box. Just check the component box.

10. Check the laptop specifications with the seller

The last method is the most unique method, really anti-mainstream. Ask the seller directly for laptop specifications.

When you want to buy a laptop, whether it’s a new or used laptop, just ask about the specifications of the laptop and whether it will be possible later if you install the application you want, or whether it will be possible later if you want to upgrade the components.

It’s that simple!

Oh yes, just for information, if you buy a laptop, check the serial number of the laptop first, to make sure the laptop components are still original or have been tinkered with inside.
