Starting with certain models introduced in late 2020, Apple began the transition from Intel processors to its own desktop chips in Mac computers.
Legacy Macs (thankfully) don't have an Intel inside sticker (like most Windows PC with Intel processors), and there's no apparent way to distinguish these from Apple silicon Mac systems from the outside.
In this tutorial, we're going to show you how to identify Apple silicon Macs.
Apple discontinues Intel-based MacBook Air, other models still available with Intel chips
