Identify Your Laptop

How to identify your laptop correctly

Every laptop has a Brand, Series and a Model (number).
If we take Dell XPS 13-4040 as an example: 

Dell is the brand

XPS is the series

13-4040 is the model (the first 6-7 digits is enough to search on our website)  

Some model numbers are longer, or have additional information, like this one:  Dell XPS X15L-3357SLV.  What comes after the hyphen or commas in the model number is not important in relation to finding the correct AC Adapters or Batteries on our website.
