I went to EveryMac.com, selected the MacBook Pro page, then chose the oldest that featured an i7 processor, then scanned down the list until I found one with 2.0 GHz clock speed. Then scanned further down to see that no others also matched that description, and they did not.


There is a much for a later MacBook Pro 2013 model, but that one shipped with 10.9 as shipped in the box MacOS, so it can not run 10.7 Lion.
