Hi:

Your notebook was manufactured during the week of June 25 to July 1, 2012.

The 226 in the S/N you posted provides that info.

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

The 4th character is the year of manufacture (0 - 9)  2 = 2012

The 5th and 6th characters are the week of manufacture (01 - 52) 26 = 26th week of the year.

Now, of course the year could have been 1992, 2002, 2012, or 2022, so you need to have a general idea of when you bought the notebook, or the relative age/technology of the hardware the notebook has.

For example:  The Intel 2nd generation core processor your notebook has didn't exist in 1992 or 2002 and they were old technology by 2022, where many notebooks had 12th generation Intel core processors.
