Q: How long is the battery life? And is it loud or hot?
A: The battery life is up to 8 hours. The temps and fan speed noise will vary based on what you are doing on the computer.
Q: 2nd drive bay? In addition to the M.2 PCIe drive can a 2.5 drive be added to this laptop?
A: Answering my own question. Hard Drive Cable: L20103-001 Hard Drive Rubber Sleeve: L21894-001 will be needed to add the HDD. Problem is you can't buy these parts yet. So won't be able to add it until these parts are for sale. From what I understand it will support a 1TB 2.5" SATA HDD.

A: No it does not. Sadly you have to buy that separately.

Best Buy's Geek Squad will upgrade the RAM for you for a fee as well as cost of parts. I'm not sure what, if any, the discount is if you get the upgrade when you buy it, but usually it would be $39.99 for the service fee and about $80 for another 8GB of RAM for a total of 16GB.
