Can I know that?

You can look up the purchase date / or rather when the warranty expires (which will tell you the purchase date) by going to:

So far I am the winner on this board to have one of the oldest late new macbook pro.
Do you think someone on the board will have a laptop that is one of the first 100 produced?
Mine was 2601... that means when day made my MBP they were all warm up
those build numbers are just for that week.
Just like it says in the other thread covering the same topic, I'd really like to see people post their issues next to their build date. It would be interesting if certain problems existed from certain batches or watching certain problems go away as they reach a different week or number.
Everyone here that has a late model 08 MBP please post in my thread https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/590398/ where I am collecting data on whether machines that have issues or not are relative to factory and build date.
Please visit the thread and post there for new 08 MBPs. Thanks....
