How do I know which model is PPC or Intel?

[mrt2]

I have a list of macbook model numbers from one of my clients and we need to determine if the macbook is PPC or Intel... where would I go to find out which models are Intel or PPC? Anyone know?

If its a MacBook, then its intel. (PPC Apple laptops were known as PowerBooks / iBooks).

Other than that you could try searching on LowEndMac.com

I could be mistaken, but I was under the impression that all macbooks used an intel chip.

Could probably just type the model numbers into Google and look at the results.

as previously stated, macbook = intel. if you want to know factory specs easily, take the battery out and look at the gray sticker in there.

iBook/PowerBook = PPC
MacBook/MacBook Pro/MacBook Air = Intel

Just get them to press on the apple in the top right a go to about this mac. That will show them what's an intel machine

All Intel based Apple portables have a webcam built into the screen bezel.

And here's a vote for everymac.com which cannot be beat for configuration info.
