Determining your exact model Mac isn't rocket science. If you want to
find out which specific model you have, choose Apple menu > About This
Mac, click System Report, copy the Serial Number, then go to
<http://support.apple.com/specs>, paste the serial number into the
search field, and click the Search button.  The technical specifications
document for your model will appear, the title of which will show your
model - for instance, "MacBook Pro (17-inch, Late 2011)".
