Q: On the 2nd M.2 slot (for expansion), how do I access it? Where is it? Where is the schematic of the laptop? What type of driver do I need for the screws? Please confirm the primary M.2 contains the operating system and is rated at Gen 4 speeds.

A: Yo have to remove the motherboard and flip it over. The memory and 2nd M.2 slot are there.The M.2 slot has a screw in it already. Cover screws are hex and internal Philips. I found no schematics. The M.2 that comes with it is a OEM Samsung and has the OS on it. I added the 2nd M.2 and upped the memory to 32GB. See a better explanation on the process in the review I did for it.

Q: Does this laptop support 100w charging through USB-C/thunderbolt?

A: Yes, tested on a WD19 and a dedicated 100W PD Charger

Q: (1) What is the complete list of internal components that are upgradeable? (2) What are the FULL specs on the display(nits, color gamut,etc)??

A: Storage and memory are upgradeable. Internal components such as GPU and CPU are not upgradeable on the laptop products. The LCD panel is IPS, 500NIT, 3ms response time, 1200:1, sRGB 100%, 8 bit color depth.

Q: What is the TGP for the RTX 3060?

A: The tgp is up to 105w for the 3060, and up to 110w for the 3070 and 3080

Q: What is the weight? I don't see that listed in the specifications.

A: Hello MichaelNYC. Thank you so much for your question. Based on the information provided by the manufacturer, this Acer Predator Triton PT516-51s-70TP laptop weighs approximately 5.40 lb. Thank you for choosing Intel!

Q: Can you run two 1 TB SSDs and run them RAID0?

A: Not certain about BIOS set up for RAID, I'm not the tech geek I was, but in this unit the motherboard is installed upside down so it has to be removed even to access the battery! I was impressed I could put two more hard drives in when I combed through the specs, well good luck with THAT.

Q: what is the tdp of the 3060 and the i7 in this laptop? Does this laptop have nvidia optimus?

A: TDP 105W for the 3060, no optimus or G-Sync in this mode; :(
