Marketing terms are for separating the rubes from their dollars:
"it is a mac"
"It's a mac pro"
The separation was done successfully :) :)
When posting on a technical mailing list, please include the relevant
engineering identifiers when referring to hardware or software items --
e.g. alphanumeric codes variously named "model number", "part number",
"assembly number", "serial number", "architecture", "revision", etc..
Doing so demonstrates your competence and your respect for the readers'
time.
I don't have a good way to copy/paste information from the mac gui --- is there
a shell command that i can run that could identify the exact model? ('uname' only
identifies the software; the mac does not seem to have a 'lscpu' command.)
And thanks for your help!
