I was on notebookreview.com and i saw that there was four main macbook pro reviews done. all different dates and different specs. my specs seemed to be the ones that were dated in 2008 and 2007. but i dont beileve my MBP is that new. I was told it was 16 Months old but the specs i have in my MBP are better then a 16 month old computer. How can i tell in detail what i have for specs. how do i see if i have a intel core 2 duo or just core duo. how do i find if i have the wireless n card and if i have firewire 800. the main things really. also want to know what t series processor i have as well. also if i have 15.4" glossy widescreen TFT LED backlit display (1440 x 900). help

Top left of your screen you should see a blue Apple logo. Click on it and select "About this Mac." The resulting window will show you the kind of processor, it's speed, and the amount of memory you have. If you want more details click on "More Info..." Cheers.
what are your specs? what is the speed of the frontside bus and the speed of the ram? How much is the capacity of the hard drive and what kind of graphics card do you gave?

so does mactracker tell me what my model is or is it just what was made during that period of time? because when i choose this mac in mactracker i see a basic break down and not showing my comouter because i have 3 gigs ram and it shows 2. i think its just was what was in them during that time.
My last post has all the MacTracker info on your model. The System Profiler on your Mac will tell you information specific to your computer, such as amount of RAM you have installed, your specific hard drive, etc.
From what I see, you have the first Intel Core Duo MacBook Pro. No wireless-N, and no LED backlighting, I'm afraid. and it can't support 3GB, only 2GB, really. You shouldn't have a Firewire 800 port. The easiest way to differentiate between a Core 2 Duo and a Core Duo is to look at your iSight webcam. Is there a small dot to the right, or is there just one webcam and that's it? The Core Duo MacBook Pro has a small black dot on the right of the webcam.
If you just want the CPU, in the terminal (/Applications/Utilities), type "sysctl machdep.cpu.brand_string"
It's output is something along the lines of: machdep.cpu.brand_string: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8300 @ 2.40GHz
However, if you want more info, the mactracker's a better place.

You answered two of your own questions in the same post. The specs you posted show you have an Intel Core Duo processor, not an Intel Core 2 Duo. You have 2GB of RAM, not 3GB.
