“AirPort Utility.app” on my MacBook Professional M1 Max (Sequoia) reveals its ComputerName as “MacBookPro”.
On my MacBook Professional 2014 (Massive Sur) it is appropriately proven as “MBP-M1Max”, which is the identify I gave it in Sequoia on the M1:
person@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get HostName MBP-M1Max person@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get LocalHostName MBP-M1Max person@MBP-M1Max ~ % scutil --get ComputerName MBP-M1Max The place does “MacBookPro” come from and the way do I alter it (if in any respect potential)?
PS. Massive Sur’s AirPort Utility:
PPS. AirPort Utility in Sequoia appropriately reveals the modified identify of the Massive Sur MacBook Professional, simply not its personal.
This isn’t new and has endured over numerous upgrades.
I can solely assume it comes from the identical place the identify in “System Settings > Basic > About” comes from, i.e. some default identify, which may very well be modified in earlier iterations of the brand new System Settings (if I bear in mind appropriately), however, for some motive, has been made ineditable with solely the “Identify” area beneath left for change.
The issue with that’s that one will not simply have the ability to know the distinction, when there are a number of notebooks (“MacBookPro”) related to the community.
Moreover, iPhones additionally present the right identify – “MBP-M1Max” – of their AirPort Utility apps.
