My 17” MBP appears to be “registered” as a 15” MBP
I wanted to add more RAM to my MPB 17. I wasn’t sure of the year, so I clicked: About this Mac > More Info and go this page:
So far, so good. It’s listed as model no: MacBook Pro 6,2
But this page has no 17” with this model no. Only a 15” with this model.

So I went the Apple page “Check your support and coverage” here, entered the serial no:
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
And I got a notice that this here MBP 17” “is" a MPB 15”
How strange is this? I just wanted to find out what year and make the MBP 17” was so I could see if I could add more memory from Crucial. (and eventually upgrade from OS10.6.8 to that machine to whatever the most recent (and efficient) OS available with this older machine. Crucial has an app that you can download so I’ll check that next, but I couldn’t yet do so because the machine is at work and I at home.
Anyone know what’s going on here?
Thanks!
