About this Mac Macbook Air 2015

[Drich290195]

Just a quick one. Picked up a Air Early 2015 and under about this Mac it just says Macbook Air.

Forgive me if I'm wrong i thought it would say (early 2015) in brackets afterwards.

Can someone confirm this on there 11inch version. Thanks

I think it's a bug in Yosemite. I had a mid 2013 Air and it was the same as yours. It's a hit or miss it seems.

Mine isn't an 11" but I have Yosemite. Here is what it shows:

[Drich290195]

My wife's 11" is showing normally

It says MacBook Air (11-inch, early 2015)

My 2015 Air 11 also reflects Splitbolt's and imacooper's screen shot. Curious.

Mine says:

MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014)

I'm curious to see what you come up with.

Does have 120gb or 128gb as hard drive as Apple seem to think if a component is different this throws off he identifier. Also tried El cap it's the same

I'm going to sound ignorant here (not the first time, not the last), but how would it show 120 gb for the SSD?

Head to disk utility and it will say the ssd size

Ah. Merci. And so, even the 512 gb shows as 500 gb. I understand now.

Going to return it because it can't be right

 

[Drich290195]

returned and the new one is correct very odd indeed

Did they offer an explanation for what was wrong? Especially as it was significant enough for them to effect a return?

They said that it was not written within the firmware correctly. They said it would not cause issue but i found it would not boot off a 10.10 USB as the loader was unable to identify the macbook

Hmmm...

my 2013 13" MBA has the same issue. I never would have noticed if I hadn't seen this thread. I'm not really sure if it is worth going to a genius bar since it has been working just fine for almost 2 years. But thanks for the heads up.

I recently saw the same missing date in a 15" rmbp.

Should imagine you will be fine as long as the identifier is set correctly in system profiler
