    We know that there's some chip there, but no one knows what it's for.

    That vent is like a passive intake vent, can't tell since there is like no airflow.

    Well the harddrive is in direct contact to the surface near it. So the heat transferred on the left palm rest area. It feels warm like most harddrives are.
