Model number of any laptop computer usually consists of numbers and letters, and may include a series name. Model number is meant to identify an entire specific line up of laptop computers, and identical computers from the same line up will have identical or slightly varying model names. Unlike serial numbers, service tags or asset tags model name and number is not unique to each individual computer.

Dell computers have labels that are usually very easy to find. Typically a label with the model number information will be found on the bottom of the laptop computer. Please do not confuse a model number with Dell service tag or serial number.

Dell has released a few different series of laptops and it is best to include series name during your search to narrow down the results and to avoid confusion with the model numbers that cross-over between different series of Dell computers.

As well try to include the full model number in your search on our website for the most appropriate results:

In some cases the model name will be written on the user facing parts of the laptop like bezels, palm-rests or frames. We highly recommend checking the bottom label to ensure that the name on the face matches the name on the label - and when different the name on the back label should be considered the final authority.

There are many reasons you might want to find the product model of your Dell computer or laptop. You could require your product model for warranty repairs, to look up the specs for your PC or laptop for upgrades, support with your Dell product, or you want to buy other accessories for your device.

The product model number helps to identify your product within a series. This simple guide describes three methods you can use to find the product model of your Dell computer or laptop.

Check Your Computer or Laptop for a Label

One of the easiest and quickest ways to find the product model is to physically find it on the outer case of your computer or laptop. A model number should follow the model type. The location of a label varies depending on whether you are looking for a product model on a computer or laptop. To locate the label on a computer, you should try looking at the back, top or side. The product model label might also be on the back of the computer stand. Or if you’re trying to locate the label on a laptop you should take a look at the base of your Dell laptop or the keyboard or battery compartment. Some Dell computers and laptops contain the product model on the power button cover.

If the sticker on your computer or laptop is missing or unreadable, do not worry, there are other ways to identify what your product model number is for example, this is easily done within Windows itself.

Access the Dell Support App in Windows 10

Another method of identifying your product model is to go on the Dell Support Application in Windows 10. Search for the Dell Support App using the search box in the left-hand corner and type ‘SupportAssist’. If this does not appear, then it might not have been installed on your computer or laptop yet. To download this application, you should read Dell’s knowledge base on how to install the support app. Once you have downloaded this application, you should be able to view your product model on the main screen.

Using a Computer or Laptop’s BIOS System

The BIOS refers to the basic input/output system of your computer or laptop. This system contains a vast number of hardware configuration settings which can be updated using the setup utility. Through accessing the BIOS menu, you can view the product model for your computer or laptop.
