Quick answer<\/span><\/p>

Which MacBook do I have? Click the Apple menu<\/strong> in the top-left corner and choose About This Mac<\/strong>. The first line shows the model name with the screen size and the year in brackets, for example \u201cMacBook Air (13\u2011inch, M4, 2025)\u201d or \u201cMacBook Pro (14\u2011inch, 2024)\u201d. If the Mac will not start, the serial number on the underside tells you the same thing.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Your model, and above all its screen size, decides which accessories fit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That one line answers most questions: which charger, which case, which accessories fit. Below is how to read that line, every MacBook Air and MacBook Pro since 2021, and what the size means for anything that has to fit the laptop exactly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three ways to find your MacBook model<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Infographic<\/picture>
Start with About This Mac. The other two routes are for a Mac that will not start.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. About This Mac (10 seconds)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apple menu \u2192 About This Mac. The first line is the model name, the line below it the chip (M1, M2, M3, M4 or M5), followed by memory and the serial number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On recent versions of macOS the same details are under System Settings \u2192 General \u2192 About<\/strong>. Apple describes both routes in Find your Mac model name and serial number<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The serial number (when the Mac will not start)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The serial number is printed on the underside of the MacBook, near the regulatory markings, and on the barcode label of the original box. Enter it on Apple’s Check Coverage page<\/a> and you get the exact model back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are signed in with your Apple Account on another device, the Devices list on account.apple.com shows it too. One catch: after a logic board repair the printed serial number can differ from the one the Mac reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Compare the ports and the shape<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No box, no serial, a laptop that will not boot? Apple keeps two identification pages with photos and port layouts: Identify your MacBook Air model<\/a> and Identify your MacBook Pro model<\/a>. A quick shortcut:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
