I will have my new laptop in the next few days. I wanna make sure that I get what I paid for, so I wanna check to see if the laptop really has the parts (CPU, rams, etc) that I ordered. How do I do that?

Simply click start, then control panel, then system. It will tell you the version of windows, processor speed and amount of RAM. That's the general tab. Then click the hardware tab. That will show what windows has reconized. If this is a used reformatted computer beware the yellow exclamation point. That means there is a driver or hardware problem on that particular piece of hardware & if they had triouble getting it to work you might to. As for the size of the hard drive simply click my computer and local disk will tell you how big it is and what space is left available. Hope that helped

hi! those are familiar questions for determining to purchase any computing device - laptop computing device or computing device. the main mandatory component whilst determining to purchase is the processor. you comprehend how human beings are consistently asserting "computers get previous"? nicely its not likely the computing device it fairly is previous, it fairly is the advances in application and coding interior that the processor can surely shelter. The extra develop the applying and updates of it, the extra use of processing potential. My truthful opinion is that Intel supplies the wonderful processors. the recent technology Intels which you talk of i3/i5/i7 are between the wonderful. the fee of the processor tells what proportion calculations according to 2d it could technique. the better the clock velocity, the swifter the processing potential, the swifter your computing device. The extra cutting-edge Intels (2d technology) run on 4 cores, making them a Quad center processor. From here, 4 extra cores are virtualized to function on further processing potential. So once you notice 2.0Ghz, meaning that each and every person 4 cores are working on that velocity besides because of the fact the virtualized cores. the biggest component to absorb it is the better the Ghz, the swifter the computing device. so as you will discover, twin cores are becomming legacy - a component of the previous. 2d, RAM is yet another key feauture. RAM is likewise conventional as memory, yet do not confuise that with cabinet area or how lots area you're able to shop issues to the computing device. RAM supplies the computing device the potential to have many classes working at as quickly as. The extra RAM you have, the extra classes you're able to have working. the better the RAM put in, the extra useful. The norm right now in laptops is 4Gb, something below it fairly is a waste. storage / troublesome tension - it is not too lots of a key function. It surely relies upon on what you plan on making use of your computing device for. the bigger the troublesome tension - the extra storage you're able to shop issues. you are able to consistently bypass with a smaller troublesome tension to maintain money whilst determining to purchase and then purchase an exterior troublesome tension sometimes for extra fee-effective to shop your information. consistently do your homework too. bypass to the shop, learn, then Google comments like "ASUS G74 computing device comments" ... be conscious the pros and cons appropriate to the computing device until now making a call. wish it is of help, in case you have anymore questions, please ask!!

Start | Settings | Control Panel | System. On the system properties screen you should see the Processor name, type and the RAM in your system. Use the hardware tab to access Device Manager to check for other components such as sound, video network stuff and then compare what you see with what you were supposed to get.

The device manager in control panel doesn't tell much. Go to start, programs, accessories, system tools, system information. Also belarc advisor (an open source prog) available on cnet can tell you a lot more.
