Take a look at the list of installed programs (either from Start > Programs or via the Control Panel). That might give you some clues. (For example, simply going to Start > Programs on my netbook shows references to 'Acer').

Also try running a search for *.pdf (which will find all pdf files on the hard drive) to see if the manual is there.

If you've been inside it did you see FCC and numbers on the motherboard?

If so try searching using that - it should tell you the manufacturer.

hi I haven't been inside it to see what motherboard is. and I don't think there beny clues as I feel preety sure they have installed win7 ultimate on it and think orig it should of been win 7 basic as most netbooks are..and cant find any reference anyways as that was my first thought...so im at a loss theit, unless I delve deeper into the netbook and see what motherboard it has in etc...

Methyl's suggestion 3 works for me and tells me what machine I'm on.

Installing and running Belarc Advisor will tell you loads about the netbook:

Go to control panel > system

There you will find manufacturer and model number and lots of other useful information about your machine.
