How do I know if my Macbook Pro has SSD?

Hi, my MBP runs really hot. That's a separate issue, but the reason I bring it up is that somebody told me that laptops with SSD don't run hot. So now I'm wondering if I have SSD, or is there something wrong with my laptop?I honestly can't remember what I ordered, and I can't really tell what to look for in "about this Mac." Thanks for your time.

Do you mean System Information? Because somebody else told me to do the same thing, and there is nothing that says Storage.
UPDATE: I found the info in the System Information>Hardware>Serial-ATA
I have SSD. 
Just wanted to let you know in case someone asks again in the future. Thanks for your time.

  • How do I know if my MacBook Pro is refurbished?

    I got a MacBook Pro for Christmas (which I would be late 2011) but I have the specs of an early 2011 model. How do I know if I got scammed, or if the person who gave it to me bought it refurbished?

    My MacBook Pro already came with Lion, and according to the serial number, it is the early 2011 model. So I guess I can confirm that it is refurbished.
    That doesn't necessarily mean it was refurbished.  There is often remaining stock at retail stores of previous models (often at reduced prices when new models are released).  As has been mentioned, if it came in a box like the kind you would see in a store (picture of the MacBook on the box, etc), it is a new build.  If it came in a plain white box, then it would be refurbished.  Apple sells refurbished machines at good savings with full warranties.  Most people who get refurbished products from Apple are very happy with them.  About the only way you'll be able to tell, however, is with the packaging.

  • How do I know if the MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.4 was installed

    I just ran the Software Update and the 10.6.5 update the the SMC 1.4 update were available. Both required a reboot and I didn't think I should update both at the same time. I did the 10.6.5 update first then after it completed I did the SMC 1.4 update.
    The SMC update installed just as the knowledge base page said it would. But how do I know if it was installed?
    My SMC firmware is at version 1.27f3. The MacBook Pro is version 4,1.
    David.

    Thanks for the info.
    I guess the only other question I have is, was the firmware already at 1.27f3 before the update or was it updated to the version?

  • How can I tell if my macbook pro has been restored to factory settings?

    I just bought I brand new macbook pro (15,4 inch) from an official apple store... but I'm thinking that it may be used (it was a bit dirty when I opened it, but it has no scratches).
    I tried with coconut battery, but it went ok, the battery is new. However they might have changed it.
    Is there a way to know if the mac was restored to factory settings?
    ... if not, is there any other way to know if is a used laptop?
    Thanks,

    cycle count says 1... wich correspond to the initial battery discharge I just did. That's why I think they may have changed the battery.
    Serial number is C02FHFG0DF8V... how can you tell if this correspond to a refurbished unit?
    It has all the "official" envelops of a brand new mac... the thing is that I found small dust specks all over the interior of the box and in the accesories (not on the notebook itself).
    According to coconut "Age of your Mac" is 11 weeks.
    That's why I thought the only way I could knew for sure if they used it before (maybe for showcasing at the store) was finding out if it was restored to factory settings. (Also I bought it in an official apple store).

  • How can I tell if my MacBook Pro has a Retina display?

    I am happy to say, that I am the PROUD OWNER of a 15" MacBook Pro and I don't know if the one that I have has a Retina display built into it.
    I was looking on the forums, to see if I might be able to get away with installing a copy of Windows 7 Pro (32-bit) via USB and I noticed that one of the forums said that you could, if you had a MacBook Pro that has a Retina display built into it.
    I would very my like to know if there's a way to find out or if there's a website that I can check out that would be able to guide me in the right direction.
    PLEASE HELP...IF I CAN DO IT, IT WOULD SAVE ME A LOT OF MONEY FROM HAVING TO BUY A NEW COPY AND I CAN STILL GET THE DRIVERS FROM THE BOOTCAMP TO PULL IT OFF.

    as per bootcamp:

    Yes, your USB will be recognized afterward.

  • How do you tell if your macbook pro has a virus?

    How can I be sure that my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 does not have a virus?
    My email was suspended by the hosting company saying that the account was sending out spam.
    They told me to run anti-virus on the computer and make sure it was clean; then they would take my email off suspension.
    Please help, I need to have access to my email account!
    Thanks

    You don't have any viruses. It sounds like you may be getting scammed. Has your email account actually been locked? If it has, then send them an email stating you have no viruses on your Mac computer. Check first to be sure the email came from your hosing company's email address.

  • How do i know if my macbook pro hard drive is working properly

    hello guys  yes im just curious my  mac is working fine  but im wondering does installing and removing bootcamp can damage the hard drive or turn it off pressing the power bottom? how to take care of the hard drive or what are the signal of a failing hard drive... thanks

    Frankiekelly,
    whenever possible, use “Shut Down…” from the Apple menu to shut down your Mac, so that the filesystem is not left in an unclean state. Forcing a shutdown by holding down the power button for several seconds should only be done as a last resort, since there is a chance that a disk write could be interrupted by that forced shutdown, and thus leave some area of your disk damaged, either virtually (if a filesystem change is interrupted) or physically (if a drive’s head is in contact with the disk at that precise moment). Neither installing nor removing a Boot Camp partition should damage your drive. Just apply common sense to take care of your drive: don‘t drop it, don’t get it wet, ensure adequate ventilation around your Mac to let its fans do their job, &c.
    If you’re curious about the state of your drive, open System Information and select ▼ Hardware → Storage on the left-hand side of the window, and look at the value of the “S.M.A.R.T. Status” of the disk on the right-hand side of the window. If it shows “Verified”, then all is well.

  • How can I connect an old macbook pro...

    How can I connect an old macbook pro with that does NOT have a Thunderbolt connection to a new 27 inch iMac? I only need to do this for one specific purpose, to be able to see the work I'm doing on the laptop in InDesign on the iMac's larger screen (at a larger size as it were, so I can see a double page spread (or even a whole page would be an improvement) in one go)?  I gather it might be possible to get an adaptor but note that Apple don't seem to sell one. I know I could do this with the cinema screen but would rather do it with a new imac as that will have more use to me overall. It's a work laptop which I don't own so I don't own the Indesign to just be able to use that on an iMac. I have tried to connect monitors to the laptop in the past, but with no success at all.  I hope someone can help . Thank you.

    Im pretty sure you are talking about the M8536 which has an ADC Adapter.
    you will have to daisy chain a thunderbolt to DVI adapter with an DVI to ADC Adapter.
    the first adapter:

    The second adapter is old so you may find used ones on ebay like this:

  • How do i view photos in macbook pro, and while viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?

    1 My questions are about viewing and managing photos from a folder.
    a. How do i view photos in macbook pro - i know the space bar thingy but does not help my purpose?
    b. While viewing how can i delete the unwanted photos with delete button?
    c. How can i increase the size of the photos that i am seeing in the form of icons?

    double clicking in iPhoto will open the photo.
    The left and right arrow key will move between photos, as well as swiping on a trackpad or Apple mouse.
    See >System Preference>Trackpad or mouse  for options and tut
    While selected or in the smaller icon view hitting the Delete key will delete the pic.
    Command Z will undo the last action taken.
    Periodically you have to empty the iPhoto trash.  iPhoto drop down menu>empty trash
    Same applies for viewing pics in a Folder NOT in iphoto,  Use the up and down arrows does not work in Preview, but as you know in QuickLook (spacebar) the up and down arrows will navigate.
