Features of HWiNFO

Focus on computer hardware

HWiNFO is basically a system information tool that can be used on PC. However, unlike other software scanning and analysis programs, this tool focuses only on the hardware that makes up the entire computer system. HWiNFO organizes all collected data and categorizes them in various ways to provide a better presentation.

The information is presented in detail and neatly

Everything is laid out on a single page - sections are organized in collapsible, branched folders on the navigation pane on the left side of the window. There are a total of 10 sections to navigate. There is a dedicated section for Motherboard, Memory/RAM, Video Adapter(GPU) and Drives for storage, which gives you loads of information, including core count, clock speed, capacity, etc.

You also get detailed information about the monitor, network, audio device, bus, and port. In addition, HWiNFO allows you to save data into XML, CSV or HTML reports for future reference. You can even select specific devices that you want to include in the report file. The only thing worth mentioning is that the Network section of this tool is rather odd, not providing as much detail as other programs.

Get a holistic view of PC hardware

In short, if you are looking for a system tool that provides detailed and comprehensive information about PC hardware, give HWiNFO a try. The tool itself is very easy to use and includes quite a few types of components that you can find inside a computer system. The completely free is also a great advantage of HWiNFO.
