Yes.. the easiest and non-intrusive way is to look at the bezel surrounding the LCD. On the 2008 models, the right side is wider then the left side. There's also some more details on what you can look for in the beginning of this thread.
If your buying it online, make sure you are looking at a picture of the exact model you are getting. From what I've seen, several of the online retailers use generic lilliput/xenarc images which are of previous years..
