there is a cf port and there is a cover piece in it to keep it clean when not occupied ...the cover piece has some cut-outs in it shaped like sd cards ...how come? Does that have any meaning or just a design?

Design. Take a look at PCMCIA/ExpressCard blanks used in other laptops (or, not to look far, T400s) - it's the same design to save material while maintaining some rigidity.

just was curious ...of course, it's plastic which makes me wonder how much they are saving on this??

There is no advantage to leaving the blank full-bodied, so it if saves them half a cent each, they'll probably do it.
