For your own information, you could try & check with one of the online identify-by-serial-number

services; no telling what they may use any information (of yours) they may get from an inquiry...


I'd used this one a few times and with a Serial number, it does show a place of manufacture;

but with only a Model number, it does not say much about when or where it was made... in

fact the model number goes to an older model, too; what I see w/ Model number is not Retina.


•Identify your Mac - Lookup your unit by Apple Serial number, or Model Number:

According to http://MacTracker.ca database, a MacBook Pro, Retina, 15-inch, Mid-2014, has a

has a Model number of A1398 and EMC 2876 and had one of three different processors.


Not sure if this helps, but assembled in China is usual information on many of those. Some

versions with added parts or 'custom built orders' may have a different point of final assembly.


And if you receive the computer via a parcel delivery company, sometimes their web site or

tracking information on your specific order will show the path it took to get from you. If the

item was stocked in a region nearer you than the point of manufacture, or a main warehouse

the item could have been shipped from another location where they had additional inventory.


Hopefully you can find the details you need.

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
