Can’t find the specs for an HP Pavilion even knowing model and serial №. Cannot simply find out what kind of CPU it has before buying. I challenge ppl who are good at searching to find the answer! (infosec.pub)

I saw an HP pavilion 17-f048nb at a street market and cannot find the specs for this. I simply want to know if the CPU is AMD, and if so which AMD. It’s such a shitshow on HP’s website. Considering the same HP model can sometimes have either intel or AMD, do I have any way to find out?

Sometimes you can get /some/ details based on the serial number at https://partsurfer.hp.com/ but not the CPU.

A slightly different model (17-f048ca) reportedly has an amd chip. But what do the last two letters mean? Is that a country code for where it is deployed?

AskUSA: how in the US would you extract this secret information from HP, who presumably has their corp HQ in California?

in this scenario for me it would have to be I don't care if it works level of cheap.

This. Untested scrap at untested scrap prices. It's also HP; they should be paying you to dispose of it.

Seller basically quoted the cost of 2 big macs. I might offer ½ that considering the display is apparently 17″. I would still feel stung if it were a brick (coupled w/potentially having nothing to salvage from it like RAM or HDD). But it’s a regular seller at this market so there is a slight chance of doing a sympathy return (though strictly speaking it’s an as-is txn).
