 |
|
Want to know more about when and where your Mac was built ?
This site will let you load in your computer's unique serial number and after a few microseconds, it will decode all those letters and numbers to tell you about your Mac.
Think of it like a Birth Certificate... 
Might come in handy one day... 
Cheers

Hmmm...this for my MacMini 1.83 Core2Duo/1GB/80GB HD Intel:
Production year: 1997
Production week: 46 (November)
Production number: 7415 (within this week)
Umm. I don't think so.

Is your mini by chance a "Refurb"?

Hehe i think its actually only out by 10 years 
I'm guessing it could be July seeing i got it in August a few weeks after the new Core2s came out.

Nope. Brand-spanking new.
As the previous poster said, it looks like a calendar problem.
(Y2K that someone forgot to fix?)

It picked up my MacBook Pro's serial number accurately.

| Factory refurbs should have a serial number that starts with "RM" - you don't need the decoder to tell that, although the decoder did properly indicate it for my refurb'd G5 D1.8. |

My MacBook is a refurb and it picked up my serial number. It's a late '07 MacBook with a birthdate of '08.
