The easiest way to find your Chromebook’s hardware specs is using a Chrome extension. Named Cog, this Chrome extension created by François Beaufort displays your Chromebook’s hardware information for you.

Here is how to install and Cog to find hardware information:

1. Install the Cog System Info Viewer app from the Chrome Web Store.
2. Open the Chrome OS apps menu.
3. Launch the Cog app.

You should now see your Chromebook’s hardware specs.
