What is the purpose of the metal shield covering the trackpad and keyboard cable connectors? Is it to protect them or it is just a barrier to prevent repair?
Since there are heatpipes running all over these metal shieldings, it’s also reasonable to say that they act as a form of heatsink to even out the heat

It’s a form of electromagnetic shielding I assume. This is a very common design on smartphones but not on laptops, no idea why Microsoft does this.

@dblueje It’s likely a shield to protect against electromagnetic interference.
Finally, Microsoft has a laptop that can be opened.

That’s unfortunate, because you can’t remove the shield without destroying it(so it will never go back in again).
