Hello, Comrades! You can find a few websites which provide serial number decoding (the one which is completely free is everymac.com btw) I wanted to get a list of the serial numbers and build a correspondence table where you could easily identify model and family (it looks like it is coded into last 4 digits). I will use this data to help my customers identify their macs on my website, and I am willing to share it with anyone on request. My current method is this: I receive about 50 macs for repair monthly and store all serials in the table (currently it’s a few hundred long). Then I look them up on one of the available databases and search for the similarities. I came up with a few correspondences already: any serial which ends with DRVC is a mid-12 MacBook Air 13". I am looking for any relevant input on the matter (serial number arrays or any ready-made solutions are mostly welcome :) )
This has really already been done by both EveryMac and PowerBook Medic. EveryMac abandoned just using the last four figures as to inaccurate. See the discussion here, included is a response from Kyle Brock the creator of EveryMac. https://meta.ifixit.com/Answers/View/743…
