How old is my computer??

Look for the manufacturer's part number and model number, then Google that along with the word 'review' and you should find many pages reviewing the specs, price, look for the date in the article.

 

If you know the generation of the Intel CPU, today we are on the 13th gen (14th soon) and go back a year for each previous generation.

 

For example, an 5th generation CPU (Core i3/i5/i7 with a number after the dash like Core i5-5160) would be 8 years old, 13-5 = 8
