Hi:

 

The 4th, 5th and 6th characters of the serial number will always be numbers.

 

The 4th is the calendar year of manufacture, and the 5th and 6th are the calendar week of manufacture.

 

So for example, if the 4th, 5th and 6th characters of the serial number are 625, the PC was made in 2016, during the 25th week of the year (June).
