This is a peer-to-peer forum. We do not work for or represent HP.
The only information anyone can provide is this:
Look at the 4th, 5th and 6th characters of the serial number.
They will be numbers.
The 4th character is the year of manufacture (0 - 9).
The 5th and 6th characters are the week of manufacture (01 - 52).
For example, if the 4th, 5th and 6th characters of the serial number are 012, the notebook was made in 2020 during the 12th week of the year.
