 Its a security lock slot. The pin on the lock sticks in that slot and expand to hook inside where it cannot be removed. 

A combination or key lock allows manipulation of the security pin. The slot is reinforced with metal so you cannot force the pin out without destroying the laptop.  These are a must at some colleges so students can bolt their laptops to a desk and you see them even in some workplaces.

The user manual explains all the ports on the machine.  Sadly i can't see the images as a mod needs to approve it.
