I couldn’t find a specific Lenovo product officially called “Model 23U” in current Lenovo product lineups or specification databases — that designation by itself doesn’t map to a standalone, recognized Lenovo model name on their support/spec sites like PSREF.Lenovo PSREF[2]
Here’s the reality of what “23U” likely means:
- It’s not a product name on its own — Lenovo often uses suffixes like -23U as internal or regional identifiers in model numbers and machine types for laptops, desktops, or accessories. These suffixes can vary by region, configuration, or distribution.Lenovo Support[3][edit | edit source]
- Examples of Lenovo devices that include 23U in their product/build identifiers: - Lenovo ThinkPad Twist S230u — a Lenovo convertible laptop that in some listings shows part codes like 20C4-23U.Best Buy Canada[4] - Older Lenovo parts/accessories (e.g., express card covers) with -23U in the SKU.eBay[5]
Lenovo’s naming convention typically requires a full model identifier or Machine Type/Serial to retrieve accurate specs. Just “23U” is insufficient because:[edit | edit source]
- It’s often a suffix or internal code, not the model number itself.Lenovo Support[6]
- Lenovo’s PSREF and support systems require the full product/model name (e.g., “ThinkPad S230u 20C4-23U”) to show detailed specifications.Lenovo Support[7]
If you have a physical device with “23U” on it (e.g., laptop sticker or paperwork), the correct way to get precise specs is:[edit | edit source]
- Find the full machine-type/model number: Look on the bottom case or in BIOS — something like 20C4-23U, 2738-23U, 6395-23U, etc.Lenovo Support[8]
- Use Lenovo’s Support/PSREF site: Enter that complete identifier into the Lenovo support or PSREF search to pull exact CPU, memory, storage, display, and I/O specs.Lenovo PSREF[9]

“Lenovo Model 23U” is not a standalone model you can look up specs for. It’s a suffix/internal code used within full Lenovo model numbers. To get precise specs, you need the complete machine/model identifier from the device’s label, which you can then look up via Lenovo’s official support or PSREF pages.Lenovo PSREF[10][edit | edit source]
If you can provide the full text from the sticker or product label (e.g., 20C4-23U or something similar), I can lookup the detailed specifications for that unit.
User: Machine type 3796 model 23U[edit | edit source]
Machine type 3796 model 23U
Assistant: Here’s the actual identification and likely specs for your Lenovo device:[edit | edit source]
Here’s the actual identification and likely specs for your Lenovo device:
🧾 Model Identification[edit | edit source]
Your Machine Type: 3796 / Model: 23U corresponds to a Lenovo ThinkCentre desktop system — most commonly a ThinkCentre M73 / M-series desktop from the small-form-factor/mini family. It’s not a laptop — it’s a desktop PC built on the ThinkCentre platform. Accelerator[11]
These older Lenovo desktops often carry internal model strings like 3796-23U, where 3796 is the Machine Type and 23U designates a regional/configuration suffix.
Lenovo doesn’t publish full specs for all legacy MTM strings publicly anymore — but based on known matches in service databases and common configurations for ThinkCentre machines with that MT, the general hardware profile is:
💻 Typical Specs for Lenovo ThinkCentre (MT 3796 – Model 23U)[edit | edit source]
- The exact specs can vary by configuration, but these are the standard characteristics for MT 3796 machines found in industry references.
🧠 Processor[edit | edit source]
- Intel Core™ series CPU (often Core i5 or similar from the Haswell era)
- Typical base clock ~2.9 GHz; Turbo Boost up to ~3.6 GHz on some i5 parts Accelerator[12]
🧠 Memory[edit | edit source]
- DDR3 RAM
- 4 GB base (expandable; some configs up to 16 GB or more) Accelerator[13]
💾 Storage[edit | edit source]
- SATA SSD or HDD (often 128 GB SSD or larger HDD) Accelerator[14]
📊 Graphics[edit | edit source]
- Integrated Intel HD Graphics (typical of Core series desktops from that generation) Accelerator[15]
🔌 Connectivity & I/O (common for ThinkCentre desktops)[edit | edit source]
- Multiple USB ports (USB-A front/rear)
- Ethernet (Gigabit)
- Display outputs (DisplayPort/VGA depending on chassis)
- Audio in/out jacks Accelerator[16]
🖥️ Operating System[edit | edit source]
- Often shipped with Windows 7 / Windows 10 Pro depending on build date Accelerator[17]
📌 Notes on Exact Identification[edit | edit source]
Lenovo’s official support systems (PSREF / warranty lookup) can give precise configuration if you provide the serial number. Without that, the specs above represent the most common baseline hardware associated with that machine type and suffix string.
If you want exact specs for your specific unit (CPU model, RAM, storage, GPU exact model), send me the full serial number from the unit — and I’ll look it up directly from Lenovo’s official support database.

I cannot pull exact configuration details for your Lenovo unit using the serial number (R8B7994) from online warranty/spec lookup right now — Lenovo’s public support portal appears to be temporarily blocking or limiting direct SN-to-spec lookup access at this moment. pcsupport.lenovo.com[18]
However, based on your Machine Type (3796) and Model (23U), this machine is a ThinkCentre desktop from an older generation (likely around the Intel Haswell era) rather than a laptop. Most Lenovo desktops with MT 3796 are part of the ThinkCentre M-series family. Lenovo Support[19]
Below is the most practical reconstruction of what your system will likely be, based on how Lenovo configured MT 3796 desktops historically:
📌 Estimated Base Configuration for Lenovo ThinkCentre (MT 3796-23U)[edit | edit source]
🧠 CPU (Typical)[edit | edit source]
- Intel Core™ i3 or Core™ i5 desktop processor from 3rd / 4th gen family (e.g., i3-4130, i5-4570) These were common in MT 3796 builds. Lenovo Support[20]
💾 Memory (RAM)[edit | edit source]
- 4 GB – 8 GB DDR3 system RAM, upgradeable if additional slots populated. DDR3 was standard for this series. Lenovo Support[21]
💽 Storage[edit | edit source]
- SATA HDD (e.g., 500 GB – 1 TB) or optional SATA SSD, depending on original configuration. Lenovo offered multiple storage options. Lenovo Support[22]
🖥 Integrated Graphics[edit | edit source]
- Intel® HD Graphics integrated into the CPU — no discrete GPU in most base configs. Lenovo Support[23]
🔌 I/O & Connectivity[edit | edit source]
- Multiple USB 2.0 / USB 3.0 ports
- Ethernet (Gigabit)
- VGA and/or DisplayPort outputs
- Audio line-in/out
- Optional Wi-Fi via PCIe/M.2 adapter (if factory fitted) This matches typical ThinkCentre desktops of this type. Lenovo Support[24]
🖥 Operating System[edit | edit source]
- Originally shipped with Windows 7 Pro or Windows 10 Pro depending on manufacture date. Lenovo Support[25]
📌 Why Exact Specs Aren’t Available[edit | edit source]
- Lenovo’s official warranty/spec lookup service currently requires login and may be undergoing maintenance, which blocks external SN queries through automated means at this time. pcsupport.lenovo.com[26]
- Without access to Lenovo’s authenticated service lookup, I can’t fetch the exact CPU model, RAM capacity, storage type, or optional features tied to your SN.
🛠 How to Retrieve Exact Specs Yourself (If Needed)[edit | edit source]
- On the PC: - Boot into Windows and check System Information (msinfo32) for CPU, RAM, storage, BIOS version. - Use dxdiag for graphics details.
- Lenovo Tools: - Install Lenovo Vantage (if Windows is installed) — it can automatically detect and show hardware details. - Login to support.lenovo.com, go to Warranty-Lookup, and enter your serial number manually.
- Hardware Inspection: - Open the case (if comfortable): check RAM sticks for capacity, look at SATA devices for brand/model of storage.
🧾 Summary (Practical)[edit | edit source]
Your Lenovo MT 3796-23U is a ThinkCentre desktop likely configured with:
- Intel Core i-series CPU (3rd/4th gen)
- DDR3 memory
- SATA boot storage
- Integrated Intel graphics
To get precise specs — exact CPU SKU, installed RAM amount, and storage model — you’ll need to check inside the software (Windows) or the BIOS, or retry the Lenovo support SN lookup once their system maintenance window finishes. pcsupport.lenovo.com[27]
If you want, provide the CPU ID string from msinfo32 or a quick screenshot of the system summary, and I’ll give you a fully detailed breakdown.
