Software update: Mactracker 4.1

The folks behind Mactracker recently released version 4.1 posted online. The update can here downloaded for Mac OS X and takes up roughly 18.49 megabytes. Mactracker displays detailed information from a Mac computer. For example, data from the processor, working memory and various other components are displayed. That information is extracted from the supplied database, which contains data from practically all hardware that Apple has made. The new Mactracker not only recognizes the new MacBooks, MacBook Pros and iMacs, but can also identify the second generation of the iPod nano. A number of changes have also been made under the hood. For example, Mactracker is now also compiled as a universal binary and the necessary bugs have been removed from the program. Below you can read which bugs these are exactly:
