Look at the serial number.

 

The 4th, 5th and 6th characters will always be numbers.

 

The 4th = the year of manufacture (0 - 9)

 

The 4th and 5th are the week of manufacture (01 - 52).

 

For example if the 4th 5th and 6th characters of the serial number are 123, then your notebook was made during the 23rd week of 1991, 2001, 2011 or 2021.

 

Naturally, you will need to have an approximate idea of when you bought the notebook or what hardware it comes with.
