Which MacBook Do I Have? – A Simple Guide

Apple has made many different MacBook models over the years, from the slim MacBook Air to the powerful MacBook Pro. Because there are so many versions, it’s not always easy to know which one you own. At Fix4U, we meet lots of customers who aren’t sure what MacBook they have — and that’s totally normal!

To help, we’ve created this quick and easy guide. With just a few steps, you’ll be able to find out your exact MacBook model, whether you’re checking the number on the bottom of your laptop or looking it up in the settings.

How to Identify Your MacBook Using the Model Number

How to Identify Your MacBook Using “About This Mac”

Another simple way to check your MacBook model is by using the About This Mac option:

  1. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen.
  2. Select “About This Mac” from the dropdown menu.
  3. A window will open showing your Mac’s model name, year, and serial number.

This method is especially useful if the underside markings are unclear or worn out.
