Every MacBook has a model number, and each model has a specific release date. So, the first step is to find that number. You can do this in a couple of ways:
- On the bottom: Flip your MacBook over and look at the bottom. You should see a model number printed there. It might look something like "A1278" or "A1932".
- In System Preferences: If you can't find the model number on the bottom, you can check System Preferences on your MacBook. Go to About This Mac and click on System Report. Then, look for Model Identifier under Hardware. That's your model number!
Once you've got the model number, it's time to look it up.
