Which iMac do I have? That’s how you find out
The iMac is without a doubt one of Apple’s most iconic products. Over the years, the company has marketed many models and sometimes the (external) differences are minimal. Especially when your computer is a bit older, it is therefore not surprising that you sometimes say “Which iMac do I actually have?” have thought.
Fortunately, it is quite easy to find out which model you have. This information is useful, for example, when you are going to have your computer repaired. By specifying exactly which Apple computer you have, you can be helped sooner.
Here’s how to check which iMac model you have:
- Start up your iMac and click on the Apple logo at the top left of the screen;
- Select ‘About This Mac’, the option at the top of the expanded menu;
- The screen that now appears will tell you which iMac you have, for example ‘iMac (27-inch, Mid 2019)’.
Alternative ways
Can’t start the iMac anymore? Then try to find out which model you have through the packaging. If you purchased the computer yourself or from an authorized retailer, the purchase receipt should also state which model it is.
Is the model not on the packaging or invoice? Then try to find out the serial number of your device. This can usually be found next to the barcode. Write down the serial number and then enter it on the official Apple website to find out which iMac you have.
The above options do not work? Then you can always try to look for the Apple part number on the packaging or iMac itself. This number is similar to ‘MMQA2xx / A’, where ‘xx’ is a variable that varies by country. You can then use this part number to find out which model you have via the official Apple website.
