MacBook – Apple computers model name identification and getting detailed specs

apple-storemacbook pro

I'm about to buy a MacBook Pro Customized Model, its model name and number is MD831/LLA.
When I google it, I couldnt find anything from a trusted apple source.
Specifications of the model is as follows;

MacBook Pro 15" Retina, 16 GB Ram, 768 GB SSD, 2.7 Ghz i7

I'm buying it from a local shop which imported the computer from US and itself is not a official Apple distributor or something.

What I'm afraid of is; that what if model turns out to be an older version or something. Because price of the device is considerably low and almost identical to Apple Store.
When I configure a machine as proposed above; price on store.apple.com is ; 3749 $
Local shop sells the same configured computer for 3800 $.

So how can I get detailed information by model name and number proposed by the seller: MD831/LLA

I've been an Apple user for the past 20 years. The absolute best way of finding information about a product before you buy it is from the serial number. You can ask your vender to give you that from the box (or note it down yourself.

Once you have that, there is this really awesome site that decodes your serial number and gives you detailed information about specs, year/month/date of manufacturing, OS, hardware, software, etc. The link to the site is below ::
