Is the build date available for products

Is there a way to find out the actual build date of your laptop?  The start shown on the 'Warranty information' page is the date the product was registered, Right?

Hi:

The build date can be deciphered from the 4th, 5th and 6th characters of the serial number, which will always be numbers.

The 4th is the year such as 8 = 2018.

The 5th and 6th are the calendar week of manufacture, such as 26, which would be the 26th week of the calendar year (June).

So. if the serial # is 8CG631513J the laptop was built in the 13th week of 2015?

[Paul_Tikkanen]

No, 631 is the 31st week of 2016.

Then why do the updates on the 'Software and Driver Updates' page  go back to March 07 of 2016??

[Paul_Tikkanen]

The drivers are released whenever they become available.

What about the x360 notebook models like yours that were made in January of 2016, or December of 2015?

Driver release dates have nothing to do with when your notebook was made.

There are driver files on your PC from 2006.

Your notebook was made in August of 2016, between August 1 and August 7th.

That's all I can tell you.
