Ask HN: How to validate hardware inside your mac? 4 points by terrykohla 13y ago ↗ HN How can I ensure that apple shipped me what I paid for in terms of processor, RAM and graphic card if I can't open the iMac or Mac Book?
[–] runjake 13y ago ↗ Apple Menu->About This Mac->More Info->System Report or /usr/sbin/system_profiler from the Terminal. [–] terrykohla 13y ago ↗ is this something I can trust?
[–] timpattinson 13y ago ↗ If you don't trust Apple's tools, use a Linux livecd and one of many system analyser packages. [–] terrykohla 13y ago ↗ Thank you. I just think that when money is involved there is a natural conflict of interest.At least on the Mac Pro you can open the box and peek into the hardware.
