I don't know if these are supposed to be screws, but if they are they have no threads unlike the rest of the back cover of my laptop and don't look like they can be conveniently removed. They just look like shiny nails.
If they can't be removed with a screwdriver and are holding down the laptop shell, how do you remove them?
I haven't tried disassembling the laptop yet, but if this is a mistake and they're supposed to have threads I need to return this laptop within 7 days. What are these? Do they hold the laptop shell down?

Besides the two largest screws at the top of the first image, the remaining screws resemble Torx screws. This video suggests that all holes should use Torx screws to keep the laptop's underside secure.

So those are only for the underside of the laptop? From what I can see they have no threads at all, so they can't be taken out. They aren't keeping the shell in place and don't cause any issues during disassembly? I find the design odd and am puzzled as to why just those two front screws aren't meant to hold the shell together.

Ensure every opening has a Torx screw installed. Refer to the video shared at the timestamp for guidance.

I checked the screws at the bottom and they match those on my model. They don't have threads—it's just a flat shiny metal circle. I'm curious if this affects how I remove the shell or unscrew it if they stay in place. Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Well, then you've got your answer! I checked the top section of the video instead of the bottom, as the images weren't sharp. The video also gets darker at the end, which might have caused me to miss it.

No worries, but I’m still unsure about those two "screws." I just want to confirm if they affect disassembly and what kind of screws they are, even if they’re not traditional ones. I need this information because if it’s a manufacturing error, I’d like to return the laptop quickly or figure out how to remove them safely.

Extremely improbable that it's a flaw or error from Gigabyte, given that you and others globally use the same laptop with identical "pegs."

They seem to be a topic of curiosity now. I hope someone can clarify.
