At the time of purchase, the sales person makes it a point to educate you on the specific Mac device that you are purchasing, including the model name, the macOS version that is operating on it, the storage space available, and the ports that are available, among other things. You may want to learn a little more about the Mac you have in front of you once you have brought it home and set it up, and fortunately, Apple has included features that will allow you to do exactly that, thanks to the efforts of the company’s engineers.
The Mac OS X operating system allows you to see not only an overview of the Mac device you possess, but you can also examine the more internal elements of the device as well. In this article, we will show you how to find out everything there is to know about your Mac or MacBook device.
Step 1. Unlock your Mac or MacBook device to reveal the Home Screen.
Step 2. Click on the ‘Apple icon‘ in the top menu bar.
Step 3. Click on the ‘About this Mac‘ option from the drop-down menu.
Step 4. You will now see a window that will give you an overview of your Mac device.
You can switch between the different tabs to access different types of information.
Step 5. Click on the ‘Overview‘ tab on the window. Overview lets you see how long your warranty and cover are, how much storage space is available, and how much space has been used. You can also get help and check the status of your warranty and cover on the Apple care page.
Step 6. Click on the ‘System Report‘ button in the overview window.
Step 7. You will now see a window that will give you a detailed breakdown of all the components that are present on your Mac.
You can go through this window and check the specifications of your Mac or MacBook for yourself. Keep in mind that this feature is available permanently on the Mac, so you can check it anytime and as many times as you want. Do keep in mind that the info feature does not allow you to make changes to your Mac in any way, and it is only a informative section of your computer.
