    I have noticed that the bottom cover vents has black tape covering them, except one, the other three has this tape.

    Have anyone tried to remove them? Will it increase airflow and lower the temps?

    On previous models they have had vents blocked to optimize air flow within the chassis.
    Since its just tape, and easily put back, you can run some test with and without it in place to see what works best for you.

    Do you already have this unit, and if so, can you provide pics of the actual taped vents.

    The ones with red rings have tape on them.
