What's My iMac's Model

Hi,

I bought an iMac. But I don't know the "Model" or "Name" for my computer.

I bought my iMac in *early 2009* but someone checked my iMac spec and say it's a 2007 model..

So how can I check what "Model" my iMac is?

Thanks.

Ed

iMac(Intel, 2009 early), MBP 17"(2010 Spring), Mac OS X (10.5.8), Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Go to the apple icon in the upper left and select "about this mac".
From the screen that appears select "more info".
From the new screen highlight "hardware" on the left.

You will now see the model information displayed on the right.
Post the model here and we'll give you the info.

Hi JhnD: Your iMac was first introduced in April 2008 (often referred to as Early '08) and discontinued in March 2009.

That is an Early 2008 iMac. Introduced in April of 2008 and discontinued in March of 2009.

I got this information from Mactracker. An excellent program for all things Apple.

Hi,

So it's an "Early 2008 iMac", not a "Early 2009 iMac"?

Thanks.

It's an Early 2008 model but you could have bought it up through March of 2009 when it was replaced with a newer model.
