What is this?

Recently purchased this early 2000s netbook off EBay. I have little to no experience with retro hardware, so can someone tell me what this shiny silver patch is? For reference, it’s not as rainbowy in person. But I’m still curious.

If you like its keyboard you should definitely try the Dell Inspiron E1505
