Identifying exactly which Mac you own can sometimes be a challenge. Variations of MacBooks, MacBook Pros, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs, Mac Pros, or Mac Minis have the tendency to look similar but may have different internal hardware. If you're unsure of exactly which model and revision you own, open the page for your model in this category and check its Identification section.

The most often replaced Mac parts include batteries for laptops and SSDs/hard drives for desktops.
