A note about the AMD version’s skimpy storage: There is a free M.2 slot and a free 2.5-inch bay—but there’s no connector for the drive. That’s just odd and makes the extra $300 for the Intel and Nvidia laptop seem well worth it.
Is it true that we cannot use the free M.2 slot and 2.5 inch drive to add more storage? I'm looking to buy but this would be a deal breaker for me if more storage could not be added, given the provided ssd is only 256 gb. I appreciate everyone's help 0
