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?

It would have to ship overseas and would not want anything with an IME or PSP anyway. Shipping alone would exceed what I would pay at my local street markets.

I appreciate all your insights. I was originally open to any of the 15h chips but your feedback has me thinking I should really be more narrowly focused on Steamroller-based chips. Which is not ideal because I think steamroller is dicey as there are contradicting claims about whether steamroller chips have a PSP.
