Accessing the Label
The product label is on the bottom of your ThinkPad laptop. To access the label, fold your laptop’s screen down to close the laptop and prevent accidental scratches and then carefully turn your laptop over.
Reading the Label
On the label, look for seven characters following the word “Type” above the barcode. This is the product number. The first part of the product number before the hyphen is the machine type number. The second part after the hyphen is the model number.
Other Options
If the model is missing from the label, you can also supply Lenovo support with your laptop’s serial number – the S/N details following the Type – to determine its model. Additionally, you can narrow your model search with Lenovo support or when using the Support website “Quick Path” search tool (see Resources) if you know your laptop’s subseries. For example: “ThinkPad T410” or “T410.”
