SavageAUS Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I have a 15" Clevo Laptop with a i7-9750H, 16Gb ram, intel UHD 630, GTX1650 (Disabled). macOS Catalina running but i've always questioned my smbios choice. I went with MacBookPro16,1 but should i go with something lower like MacBookPro15,3? The reason i ask is because my CPU shows up as an i9. Is this just cosmetic?
