That bottom right screw is a captive screw that's meant to stay in. It lifts up the bottom to allow you to open it. they also put a 512GB SSD in it for the same reason most Gaming Laptops still come with 8GB Single Channel RAM. To keep costs down.

@TheHarsh1310 Жыл бұрын

Thermal pads are only useful if they help the ssd come in contact with a metal surface (like heatpipe) to conduct the heat away. You dont usually see laptops have cooling provided for ssds and they are just passively cooled. So adding thermal pads, which dont conduct heat away from the ssd, will be useless.
