If you open the System Profiler app in Applications>Utilities, click on Hardware in the left column, to the right you should see

Hardware Overview. The last line is Hardware UUID, is that the information you need.

Apple trade-in page Apple has a new trade in page https://www.apple.com/shop/trade-in It also gets accessed when you're purchasing something. It asks you what device you're trading in phone, Mac, iPad. It then asks you if it's an Apple device. OK. Then it asks for the serial number. Good so far. I put in the serial number for my 2021 M1 MBP. After the serial number it asks what computer it is. Really? Then it asks how many cores it has, and how much processor, and how large the storage. Am I missing something here? Isn't the serial number unique to the device? When I give Apple the serial number shouldn't the system know immediately what the hardware is? Why am I looking up all this stuff for Apple and likely getting it wrong?
