Use About This Mac to Find Model Information
If you have trouble seeing the tiny letters on the MacBook case, you can find information on your Mac elsewhere.
Why Would You Want Your MacBook’s Model Number?
The model information of your MacBook can help you do several things. For example, to upgrade the memory or storage, you want to make sure you’re getting RAM or other hardware compatible with your machine. Similarly, you might want to look at accessories for your MacBook. Usually, compatibility will depend more on the version of the macOS you’re running. But for products like cases, external keyboards, and other size-specific things, you’ll want to make sure you get the correct item, and knowing your model information can help. You may also want to see if you still qualify for warranty service. In that case, the serial number will be more valuable than the model, but if you don’t remember how long it’s been since you bought your MacBook, this information will show you immediately.
