Which MacBook do I have? Here's how to find out

To know or not to know? That is the question, because knowing the model of your MacBook is not always an easy task. Currently we have an extensive list of Apple laptops, from the most basic to the most professional. And there are not only two ranges of portable devices, but each of the ranges includes different models with different technical specifications. It is understandable that a user could confuse a MacBook Air 2015 with a 2017, since the differences are more internal than external (just ask us). For this reason you always have to have tricks to know the model of your MacBook and remember it in case at some point we require a technical service.

Settings, the core of the software

Where better to find the model of your device than in System Preferences? If there is something you should never forget, it is that you can find all (or 99%) of the information of your device in the settings section of your device. To see what MacBook model we have, it is as simple as clicking on < About This Mac and a small window will appear directly with generic information about our device.

Plan B: The underside.

If in your case the device does not turn on and you need to know the model of your device, there is a solution. The first thing is to look at the back and locate a series of numbers accompanied by a letter. In the case of MacBooks, that code starts with A, followed by 4 figures (example: A1234). This code not only appears on the device, but also on the packaging of your device.

With these two methods you now know how to find out the model of your device easily and in a matter of seconds. It is very important to keep it in mind in case your MacBook requires a repair and you don't know which model your terminal is.
