In this article we will help you determine the correct MacBook Pro model numbers of any MacBook Pro you may have. The very first MacBook Pro was released on January 20, 2006, and it was a 15-inch model. Later on April 24, 2006 a 17-inch model was released. It was later announced on June 8, 2009, that the 13-inch unibody MacBook would be upgraded and re-branded as the MacBook Pro. It wasn\u2019t until June 11, 2012 that Apple released the third generation of the MacBook Pro. This model was marketed as the \u201cMacbook Pro with Retina Display\u201d. It was marketed this way to help differentiate it from the previous model. The fourth generation followed the design of the previous generations and has an all-metal unibody enclosure and separated black keys. Additional design changes to this generation include a thinner chassis, thinner screen bezel, larger trackpad, the OLED Touch Bar, and a shallower butterfly mechanism keyboard with less key separation than the previous models. <\/p>\n

If you are not experienced with the different types of MacBook Pros out there, it could be very hard to identify the model by just looking at it. This is very important to be able to identify if you plan to sell your used MacBook Pro at some point and need to specify its model. The fastest and easiest way to determine what model you have is by looking at the serial number that is located on every device\u2019s surface. You can also find this information in the About This Mac window in almost any version of the MacBook Pro. Other ways to look up the model number is by looking at your original packaging if you still have it. Or if you purchased your MacBook Pro straight from Apple or another authorized third party retailer, you can find the serial number on your receipt or invoice. Look at one of these places and then match which model number it goes with from the following list:<\/p>\n
