The accepted answer of the thread How do I check system specifications? is about System Monitor > System in 11.04.
However, there is no tab System anymore in the application System Monitor of Ubuntu 15.10.
I still want to do the checking by default tools, not by external installations.
How can you check system specifications in Ubuntu 15.10?
Hit Super (Start button in windows) , Type and and open System Monitor.
For full details system information use HardInfo : Click to install.
HardInfo can display information about both your system's hardware and operating system.
I'll try conky. It gives you infinite configurations and there are scripts for monitoring everything. You can setup the computer to start whit a completely empty desktop just running conky in fullscreen and a nice wallpaper.
The only problem is conky hasen't got a gui to configure, it works based on scripts. But if you google it there's hundreds of people sharing and exchanging conkyrc files. You can take those you like and make a mix until you get what you want.
If you install it from this ppa they have some example scripts.

You can find some info under System Settings > Details > Overview. It gives you some details about your RAM, Processor, OS Type and hardrive.
If you want something more complete you can install hardinfo via terminal:
It gives you a very complete description about your system.
Have a nice day!
