    Even I have purchased the same model and have the same confusion whether it can be upgradeable to higher SSD capacity or not...
    There is no solid info about this anywhere...

    That's great. Yeah we can upgrade there are 3 slots for SSD and separate HDD also there as 4th. We can upgrade upto 1 TB SSD in each slot I think. But unsure that what kind of SSD is supported and are good. I am not sure you can upgrade it yourself or not. I recommend go for service center and have a upgrade with SSD so warranty does not get void.

    Yes, I had ordered it through Flipkart yesterday but yet to be delivered to me (may be tomorrow).

    By the way thanks for the info. But are you pretty sure that it has three SSD slots??
    If yes then from where did you get this information?
    Can you please provide any link for this?

    Sure. I will be able to help you with that. I remember I got it through YouTube video. I need to look again in history so I need adequate time. One more important thing where are you from. My delivery is expected 25 October. You say that only 2-3 days so. Can you please provide such help.

    Thank you for the you tube link. I too found some in youtube but none of them are model specific.

    Ya there are two slots for SSD, but the right side slot doesn't have any metal case cover, unlike the left one.

    But still it is unclear to me that how much SSD capcity each of the slots have. And also can I replace my 1 TB HDD with a hybrid drive or not?

    I am from WestBengal, India.
    Where are you from?

    Each m.2 SSD slot can support both sata and nvme upto 4GBps link speeds with upto 1TB max in each slot and for HDD bay it can support wide array of disks from sata hdd to sata ssd upto 2tb.
  • It is possible that some other model, which uses the same main board, has a third m2 slot 2280 here:

    Are u able to extend your warranty @shopacer.in . I have the same model as your's but I can't extend my warranty as the website says my serial number isn't eligible for warranty extension.

    I received outer sealed broken Laptop inner seal is intact it never used as per battery and memory diagnosis. Seals were also intact with warranty sticker on back panel (chances may have been replaced). I raised concern with Flipkart looking for replacement.
