Speccy is a tool designed for people that want to find out various information regarding the hardware capabilities of their computers. Windows has a built-in feature, but it lacks a lot of options that this third party app manages to provide. Moreover, considering the fact that the installation process is quick and simple, everyone might want to give it a try. Not only system administrators can benefit from the features that the application encompasses, as everyday users might need to use different information related to the computer’s hardware if they want to make a purchase, for example.

The user interface features a dark grey background and the text is mainly white, so it is easy to read everything, even in low-light environments. The UI is split between to areas, and the left one is a sidebar. Here, about ten different options are available and upon clicking them, they will expand in order to provide special details that can be used when Speccy needs to scan and provide results for a certain aspect. Even the basic hardware list provides a lot of info and users can not only see the list of elements in the PC, but they are also informed about the temperature of each one. If a temperature indicator is too high, a warning will be displayed.

The tool can prove useful if one needs to upgrade his computer, but he only wants to purchase a single element. After the app scans the whole system and the user marks a certain hardware piece for replacement, Speccy will connect to the internet and it will retrieve a list of compatible parts that can be used. The tool can also be used in a portable manner and it can be ran from a USB flash drive if one needs to check a computer before he makes a purchase.
