Whether you have a MacBook, MacBook Air or MacBook Pro, follow our guide on how to identify which model you have and find out what the specifications are and which version of the OS you can use.
Which model of MacBook do I have?
If you can sign into your MacBook then you can find your model with the following process…
- Click on the Apple logo in the top-left of the menu bar
- Select “About This Mac” from the drop-down that appears
- Now click on the “System Report…” button
If you can’t use the MacBook then you can find the serial number on the underside of your device (or on the original packaging) and then use this to find your model number via Apple’s Check Coverage page.
What are the specifications of my MacBook?
The MacBook information below will guide you to specifications, supplied by Apple, for the various MacBook products.
Some MacBooks carry the same model numbers – you’ll need to find the part number of your product in this case. However, this information is only available on the original packaging – where this isn’t available, you will need to know the age of release of your MacBook to differentiate it.
What’s the latest version of the OS that my MacBook is compatible with?
In the information tables below, where a “Newest OS” is specified, this means that the MacBook can’t be upgraded to the latest release and the version listed here is the latest that it is compatible with.
