Find Mac's "age" in Yosemite

Question

I upgraded a Mac to OS X Yosemite and would like to find the age (when it's been released). In previous OS it was given here:

Details under Mac OS X Mavericks

but I can't find it in Yosemite there

Cant find age

...anyone?

According to the serial number it's a "MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.66 15" Mid-2010". I assume you already tried to reboot. Is there anything of interest in /var/log/system.log around the time you access "About this Mac"? — nohillside, Commented Dec 30, 2014 at 15:37
Open Terminal and sudo less /var/log/system.log. Or run the Console application — nohillside, Commented Dec 30, 2014 at 15:40
Are you connected to the Network? I believe System Information contacts support-sp.apple.com to get that info and populate the About this Mac window. — tron_jones, Commented Dec 30, 2014 at 17:25

It should be right under the the OS X Yosemite. Checked 3 different models and all showed in the same place.

@Ummsekatze It might be a bug in 10.10 - can you open the app store and install updates until you are at 10.10.1 ?

Or, on the same window, you can go to the Support tab and click Specifications to get even more information.

You could also check for your device or any other device when you have the serial number at selfsolfe.apple.com
