What is the IMEI and for what purposes is it used? Does a laptop or Chromebook also have an IMEI?
Every cell phone / tablet etc. Has an IMEI, this is the identification number of the device and can be reported in the event of loss so that fraud cases etc. Can be noticed and avoided with this device.
IMEI = International Mobile Equipment Identity
To identify the device.
Every device has an IMEI or every cell phone, tablet, laptop, etc
Actually determines the owner of the device.
Where can I find my IMEI on my notebook? If it is stolen now or I e.g. Let it lie somewhere, can I find it again if necessary using the IMEI? How about the way: police, file a complaint?

No, each tablet does not have an IMEI, only those with mobile communications there are tablets with only WLAN that do not have an IMEI
Packaging?
Your notebook has no IMEI, only devices where you insert a SIM card have an IMEI
Complete nonsense 😂👋💢
You can read what an IMEI is and what it is used for here:
https://de.wikipedia.org/...t_Identity
If your notebook / Chromebook does not have a UMTS / LTE or 5G modem integrated (i.e. A slot for a cell phone card), then your device also has no IMEI.
No you have no plan The International Mobile Station Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a unique 15-digit serial number that can be used to uniquely identify every GSM or UMTS device worldwide.
Complete nonsense 😂👋💢
If the notebook is already gone then you have a problem, you should write it down beforehand and keep it safe to be prepared in case of loss.
By the way, you can't locate devices with the IMEI. You will not find it again, the number is only for identification.
If the laptop has built-in cellular radio, it has an IMEI, which is usually also printed on the bottom of the device. Depending on the device, there's a corresponding tool for the cellular modem, which can also display the IMEI. Otherwise you can only take the so-called MAC address of the (W) LAN card if no mobile phone is installed. It is as unique as the IMEI.
