How to Check Laptop RAM & CPU

Verify the processor generation and RAM capacity to ensure you're getting what you pay for.

Why Checking Specs is Crucial

Sellers often misrepresent specifications. They might claim a laptop has an "i7 processor", but fail to mention it's a 10-year-old 4th generation i7 that is slower than a modern i3. Similarly, they might claim 16GB of RAM when it only has 8GB.

How to Check Manually (Windows)

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  2. Go to the Performance tab.
  3. Click on CPU to see the exact processor model and generation.
  4. Click on Memory to see the total RAM installed and its speed.
