How to Determine a Chromebook Make and Model

Choosing a custom logo case for your Chromebook is a wise move. Whether placing an order for your business, or perhaps your faculty and staff, personalization goes a long way. However, one of the major purposes of a custom case is to house the Chromebook’s precise shape. 

After all, if the device is too big or too small for the custom case, then the case becomes less effective. Like walking in a pair of shoes that is too big or too small, it can be uncomfortable, even dangerous. Therefore, it is crucial to make sure your custom cases fit the Chromebook perfectly. 

And that means knowing the model of your Chromebook. And if your Chromebook is brand new, then you might know the model off the top of your head. However, there are many business employees or students who received Chromebooks from the company (or university). 

If you are in this category, you might have to find out the Chromebook make and model on your own. This is not a difficult process. But if you have not completed this process before, then you are about to learn a few new tricks. Fortunately, there are several easy ways to find the model number on your Chromebook. 

Let’s inspect these methods in a bit more detail. 

1. Check the Box

If you have had your Chromebook for a while, then you might not have the box handy. But if you do, you will find the Chromebook model number printed right on the side. Give the packaging a look over and you’ll likely find it easily enough.

2. Check the Receipt

If you are like most people, you don’t save paper receipts anymore. In fact, there is a better possibility that you don’t even get them at all! However, if you made your purchase online, then there is a good chance it will identify your Chromebook model. 

This is also true of your bank statement, but this might be a bit less obvious than the receipt itself. Additionally, you can check your confirmation email, which will certainly have your Chromebook make and model number. 

That being said, there is also a good chance that you received your Chromebook from your employer or university. If you know the department which placed the order, you can always reach out to that person. They will be able to check the Chromebook model number for you. 

3. Check the Physical Device

You might find the Chromebook make and model on a sticker on the back of the device. This sticker likely has the Chromebook serial number as well. However, if you use your Chromebook often, then the sticker might have worn down. 

Additionally, don’t mix the two numbers. The serial number and model number have their own respective identification.  There are certainly instances of businesses or universities placing their own stickers on the back as well. In these instances, just hope that the company sticker hasn’t covered up the original.

4. Use Chrome’s Online Services

Chrome has a variety of extensions and pages that provide useful insights into identifying your model number. For example, Chrome’s About Page can find out what type of model Chromebook you are using. Do this by simply visiting chrome://system. 

Chrome also provides a Cog Extension through which you can retrieve information about your device. By downloading this extension, you are giving the app access to recognize your device. The extension will then find out your Chromebook make and model number, as well as other pertinent information. 

The Bottom Line

At the end of the day, there are a variety of ways to find out your Chromebook model. And since it is so easy, you should absolutely take the time to do so before ordering a custom logo case. But then, once you do have the model number, it’s time to consider that case.

A customized case for your Chromebook is the best way to keep it safe. It is also an excellent way to show support for your business or university. And depending on what you use the device for, there are cases that will complement these behaviors. 

For instance, if you are customizing a Chromebook case for business purposes, then perhaps leather is the best approach. This is because the material is professional looking. On the other hand, a student might need something a bit more rugged. This is especially true considering students toss these devices into bookbags, or use them casually in the quad.
