Hardware Information

Hardware tools report what the web platform exposes: geometry, logical CPU count, approximate memory buckets, GPU renderer strings when available, battery on supporting engines, and screen or display capability hints.

Start with Device Information for a hub overview (including optional camera device details after permission). Open CPU, RAM, GPU, Battery, Screen, or Display Information when one signal needs a sharper note.

These pages are browser capability readouts, not OEM serial inventories. Use OS tools when a ticket needs marketing model names or exact RAM sticks.

FAQ

Hardware Information FAQ

Common questions about this category of diagnostics.

Why are some hardware fields missing?
Browsers limit fingerprinting. Device memory, battery, architecture Client Hints, and GPU renderer detail appear only when the API exists and the browser allows it, absence is often intentional.
Can these tools show my exact CPU or GPU model?
No true CPU model/name from the web, only concurrency and optional UA-CH architecture. GPU strings via WebGL may be privacy-reduced or show software renderers such as Google SwiftShader.
What is the difference between Screen and Display Information?
Screen Information covers geometry (size, available area, color depth, orientation). Display Information covers capability hints (color gamut, HDR media, isExtended-style multi-screen signals, refresh-related hints). Use Display category tests for visual proof.
Do I need to grant a permission?
No. Hardware tools use typed permissions none. Battery Status may historically show an engine prompt in some browsers, that is separate from DeviceHub’s permission metadata.
