Install System Profiler and Benchmark or hardinfo from software center using “sudo apt-get install hardinfo” Other command called ”lshw” will show your devices In additional there a build in application called “device manager” under Menu system> administration> device manager

lspci will show you most of your hardware in a nice quick way. If you want something graphical, I suggest you look at hardinfo. You'll need to install it first:sudo apt-get install hardinfoYou then just run it from the same terminal with hardinfo. I don't know that it has a menu location by default.
