..Most of that is explained in those pages in italics..

Not sure you're going to prefer 'lack of infinite' detail.


Here's part of what's said (in at least one) of those "Identify your MacBook/Air*

/Pro/ Mac mini, etc; most are similar. ~ Sites like Everymac.com can help; and a

few others whose business is spelling out tedium. Once it's in print online, and

until specs change (yet again) those details fade. Presently, that's 'making' history.


"*..an Apple part number, such as MQD32xx/A (“xx” is a variable that differs by country or region).."


The MacBook Air 13-inch M1 model spells out what most for a start, others do:


MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020)

Colors: Space gray, gold, silver

Model Identifier: MacBookAir9,1

Part Numbers: MVH22xx/A, MVH42xx/A, MVH52xx/A, MWTJ2xx/A, MWTK2xx/A, MWTL2xx/A

Tech Specs: MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020)

User Guide: MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020)


Variants at times may include regional difference & sub-model builds with subtle identifiers.

Those are several types and kinds of identifying numbers and letters.

re: Model, build-year-date; trim, hardware/software, if sold as kit; etc.


Some of that is internal, we (volunteer helpers) are not supposed to

exercise speculation; however several sources are openly available.

Appleinsider, has details published; among other 'mac hints', & etc.

Other solutions: (near the end of above article)

  • Look on the outside of your Mac, or check the original packaging, receipt, or invoice; as described

on the 'product-ID' page ~ for MacBook ProMacBook AirMacBookiMacMac mini, or Mac Pro.

  • Sign in to appleid.apple.com, then look for your Mac in the Devices section. If you see

your Mac there, click its name to see the model name and serial number.


Good luck & happy computing!🌻🌤⛵️🎣🐝

Thanks so much..

Is there some aspect of this whose meaning is lost in the echo'd corridors of ASC?


.".an Apple part number, such as MQD32xx/A (“xx” is a variable that differs by country or region).."

And very simply put:


"Apple Order No: MGN63LL/A* Apple Subfamily:M1, 2020

Details: *The MGN63LL/A order refers to this model in Space Gray.

In Gold, it is MGND3LL/A and in Silver it is MGN93LL/A."


from EveryMac.com from search results 'extensive database' [of Lookup: MGND3PA/A]

Apple MacBook Air "M1" 8-Core 3.2/7-Core GPU 13" Specs

Identifiers: M1, 2020 - MGN63LL/A* - MacBookAir10,1 - A2337 - 3598

The first number in (expanded) details, means all that's stated here:

https://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook-air/specs/macbook-air-m1-8-core-7-core-gpu-13-retina-display-2020-specs.html


And the second number, whose details differ only marginally? These can substitute

different cores and system on chip (unified architecture) of one of several variants.


Apple MacBook Air "M1" 8-Core 3.2/7-Core GPU 13" Specs

Identifiers: M1, 2020 - MGN63LL/A* - MacBookAir10,1 - A2337 - 3598


"The Apple MacBook Air "M1" 8-Core CPU/7-Core GPU 13-Inch (2020) model

features a 5-nm 3.2 GHz Apple M1 processor with 8 cores (4 performance

cores and 4 efficiency cores), a 7-core GPU, a 16-core Neural Engine, 8

GB of onboard RAM, and a 256 GB onboard SSD. ~ Both the RAM and the SSD

can be upgraded at the time of initial system purchase, but not subsequently."


[Other numbers are used to categorize regional variants, &

certain possible options that are as-built prior to shipping.]


That said, I'm done here; the dustpan/broom &/or mop/bucket, are in closet by exit.


Good luck & happy trails!🐢
