No it's not an M1.....its from 2007-2008. I am able to use a regular KB but what Apple uses is some what foggy to me. Yes, I am not an avid fan of Apple and this really bothers me!!! So I was able to find and install OS X for this little beast, but now all it does is go to the Apple logo and spin a small wheel. I have read that something else may be wrong but being in a very hard to open case I dont want to break it ! I did install the correct OS, before you ask, that was posted for this machine. Model A1225
