Hi guys,

 

I bought this laptop for about 350 and upgraded it to 16 GB DDR4 and added 2 512GB SATA SSDs. I think it's one of the best purchases I've done in a long time. I like the i5-6200 with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD with FHD screen, USB-C, QCA9377 802.11ac and BT4.1.

 

macOS Sierra ran ok on it, but the wifi card was not recognized by macOS. Apparently even though it is an ath10k compatible chipset, macOS doesn't support it.

 

So anyways I am using Win10 Anniversary Update and everything is smooth as silk in UEFI Secure Boot mode with Bitlocker and TPM, exactly as I wanted.

 

This laptop has an empty M.2 2280 m-keyed slot. Does anybody know if it supports NVME SSDs? I would like to know this before I spend USD 500 on a 1TB Samsung 960 NVME SSD.

 

EDIT: UEFI is InsydeH20 1.15.

 

Thanks
