When viewing the System Summary in the System Information app, what information is displayed?

The System Summary in the System Information app provides a snapshot of the essential details about the computer's operating system and hardware. The information displayed includes the name of the operating system, the version it is running, and the system model number. This overview is crucial for managing systems, troubleshooting, and ensuring compatibility with software and hardware, as it encapsulates fundamental aspects of the system's identity and architecture.

Other options are relevant for system management but are not part of the System Summary. For instance, CPU usage and memory status relate to real-time performance monitoring rather than system identity. Installed applications and update history are more typical of program management tools, and network configurations and IP addresses pertain specifically to network settings and infrastructure, which are not included in the high-level summary of system information. Therefore, the best representation of what is displayed in the System Summary is the name of the operating system and system model number.
