How to identify your MacBook model

With so many different models and variations of Apple's popular MacBook available, it can be difficult to determine exactly which model you own. Identifying your MacBook model is essential to the proper installation and functioning of any software and hardware. It is also crucial for future software compatibility and eligibility for updates. Certain applications and games are compatible with specific models, but not all. The model also determines the type of memory chip and the maximum RAM allowed.


This simple guide will help you to quickly and accurately identify your device's model number according to Apple's numbering convention.
