Research notes (unverified)
- Late 2008 and Mid 2009 share this identifier and all components. Audio is a Realtek ALC889A on every observed machine.
- Bluetooth: 6 of 8 observed machines report USB 05ac:8216, 2 report 05ac:8210.
- Apple's identification page also lists MC505 under Mid 2009; MC505 is the 11-inch Late 2010 model.
