LKBEN11674: How to find detailed hardware information for your Macintosh
Symptom
You are using a Mac with MacOS and need some hardware details.
Cause
-
Solution
On newer systems you can just press the option key and select "About this Mac" from the Apple menu.
You can also use a terminal and enter the following command:
system_profiler
This will show you all hardware information you might wish. It might be better to send this information to a file or to use less.
system_profiler|less
or
system_profiler > system_information.txt
Now you can open the file with any editor and search in the output.
Have fun.
