Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"Have you ever tried to hunt down technical information about your Mac? This can be quite the daunting task to someone who isn't particularly familiar with Macs. But fear not, whether you own a brand new MacPro or a 1997 Apple Quicktake 200, today's app will tell you everything you need to know about it."

If you have ever needed information on a Mac, or any other Apple product for that matter, then you could have used this handy program. From the sounds of this review, it pretty much gives you all the information you need on anything that Apple has made over the years. And best of all, it is free.

"Sometimes you need info on a specific model of computer when you're nowhere near a computer. You could scour the Web for the information, but good as the iPhone's Web browser is, it can still be pretty time consuming to track down a certain tidbit. Frankly, you could probably download and install Ian Page's free Mactracker (iTunes link) in less time."

Want to know the processor speed of that old IIe you have lying around? Save yourself some time and download the free MacTracker from the iTunes App Store. Not only will it tell you that, but it will also tell you initial price, system specs and many other items that will serve you well should you get into a trivia contest about Apple. I kid. But it is interesting to look up not only computers but some of the peripherals such as the Newton and see everything you wanted to know about them right on your iPhone/iPod Touch screen. If you want it on a bigger screen there is a desk top version available at the MacTracker site.
