Hi!
I just bought a brand new 13" Macbook Pro, the new model, and I used Coconut Battery and Coconut Identity Card to check the machine, and both say that the age of the machine is 123 months (made in Nov 2000)!
I called Apple Support and they said it's not possible since this kind of Macbook Pro didn't even exsist in 2000.
Any idea how this happened?
Thanks!
 
It's possible that Coconut Battery has not been updated to recognize the new computers.

If I were you, I'd contact the developer(s) of Cocnut Battery and inquire with them. I would expect they'd say that it's simply an error in the program because it hasn't been updated to recognize the new device identifier codes that the new MacBook Pros use.
 
Coconut Battery looks at the serial numbers. Because your notebook's battery was made in 2010, probably, it's got the "0" right where batteries made in 2000 had the "0" as well. Just take 10 years off the number Coconut Battery tells you, and you're probably in the ballpark. ;)
