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

 

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

 

The 5th and 6th = the week of production (01 - 52).

 

For example, if the 4th, 5th and 6th characters of the serial number are 912, the PC was made in 2019 during the 12th week of the year.

 

Now the year could have been 1999 or 2009, so you have to have some idea of when you bought the notebook or what the specifications are.
