Where can I find the serial number on or in a Laptop 16? Or, which of the components have serial numbers and where are they printed?
Framework laptops don’t have serial number etched on the body. See @Destroya’s response below.
If you’re using Linux and have dmidecode installed, running sudo dmidecode -t chassis will give you a short blurb that includes serial number. Short of that, you can boot into BIOS to view serial number, asset tag etc. (on the main page as best as I can remember, but you might have to browse a bit).

For completeness, here’s the PowerShell command for us Windows plebs:
Get-WmiObject win32_bios | select Serialnumber

@Destroya based on the breadcrumbs I gather that answer applies to your Laptop 13; if it’s meant to also apply to Laptop 16 I’d like to know why y’all failed to apply that to mine. I’d’ve left feedback on that page, but the closest thing it has to a feedback link leads here, so instead I made this post.
I see a serial number in the BIOS which I assume applies to at least the mainboard. The same number is also printed on the midboard, by screw 3, so I’m guessing it applies to the entire unit (except the SSDs, which have their own).
(I assume the BIOS, dmidecode, and Get-WmiObject are all doing the same lookup)

suppose on linux, with KDE, kdeinfocenter, about this system", there is a show serial number button.
also
sudo hwinfo --bios
i see it there within the first 40 lines or so.
Just checked this with our internal teams, looks like I informed you incorrectly and this article is not applicable for Framework Laptop 16. your mainboard serial number should be on the midplate. We’ll be updating the knowledge base article
