[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1842340, member: 56379"] Apple does use an "EMC" number in addition to the model number. This EMC number is usually unique to the launch date of a series of Mac models. For example all "Early 2011" iMac's would have the same EMC number...the iMac series before & after this date would have different EMC numbers. Problem is these EMC numbers are sometimes difficult to find...and I think this is why (many times)...many Mac-Users will use the terms: - "Early 2011" - "Mid-2014" - "Late 2016" - "Retina 2012" - "2008 MacBook Unibody" ...etc. sort of designations to help differentiate different model series more easily.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
