Bechmarking

To see your specs as in the hardware in the laptop, Speccy is handy for an overview.

For benchmarking, it depends what you're looking for.

AIDA provides a load of synthetic benchmarks on various components you probably don't care about like the RAM.

For gaming, Firestrike (and Timespy) and Ungine Valley / Unigine Superposition are the main ones. Firestrike includes GPU and CPU and a combined benchmark, while Ungine is more focused on the GPU.

For storage benchmarking, a popular one is Crystal Disk Mark but that doesn't tell the whole story about storage performance so there are other ways to measure.
For info on the drive e.g. its health, crystal disk info

To measure temperatures, loads, fan speeds, etc during gaming, MSI afterburner or other software like HWinfo used with Riva Tuner Statistics Server can be used to show on screen displays. So you can overlay framerates, frametimes, temps, frequencies, etc on games.

Steam has a VR benchmark of its own.

There are also stress tests like Prime95 and Furmark, and AIDA includes a torture test, but these can create extreme loads on the system. Furmark is described as a power virus. 3dmark has stress testing capabilities as well.
