I thought the 713 was going to have nvme storage?

Specs say 128GB or 256GB SSD, so very likely they are NVMe, the eMMC drives are usually much smaller. The two blurbs Jose posted don't tell us either way, other than the marketing folks didn't feel it needed to add that to the blurbs.

I asked customer support and got the following reply "Thank you for contacting Acer.

We currently do not have product that include NVME as a specification.

If you need any more information or have further question please do not reply to this email but reply to us online using this link"

Not convinced they know what they are talking about. The blurb also states that the i5 is an 8th gen chip, but it's not, it's 10th gen (according to intel)

OK, I found a part number for the 128GB SSD, HYNIX HFM128GDJTNG-8310A. From what I see that's a PCIe Gen 3 NVMe drive. They don't tout it as part of their marketing materials, perhaps someone decided it wasn't a big enough factor to put in the blurbs.
