How to identify your MacBook model

With so many MacBook models available, it’s not always easy to know exactly which device you own. Identifying your model is especially important when choosing accessories like cases, sleeves, or screen protectors, which are designed for a precise fit.

This guide will help you quickly and accurately identify your MacBook model number using Apple’s official numbering system, so you can shop compatible accessories with confidence.

How to Identify Your MacBook Model

There are two simple ways to find your MacBook model:

1. Check in macOS

With your MacBook turned on:

  1. Click the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen
  2. Select “About This Mac”

A window will appear showing your model name, for example, MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016).

    2. Check the Model Number on the Device

    You can also identify your MacBook using its model number:

    1. Remove any case or protective cover
    2. Turn your MacBook over
    3. Look at the small text at the bottom

    You’ll find a model number starting with “A” (e.g., A2338).

    Use this number with the table below to identify your exact model:
