“How easy is it to upgrade /open this laptop up? I'm worried about the plastic clips snapping. Also does anyone know what kind of connector is used for the ssd? It is obviously a m.2 but is it the three prong m.2 or the 2 prong one?”

It was fairly easy to open up the bottom panel. You'll need a Torx screwdriver (T5) and a plastic spudger. The plastic clips popped open relatively easily with no damage. The M.2 bay is an M-keyed NVMe bay. It will accept M-keyed and B+M-keyed NVMe drives only, up to 512GB in size. The existing drive that was installed in mine was a 128GB Kingston B+M-keyed NVMe drive. Note that the connectors on SATA3 drives have a different number of pins than NVMe drives do, and they will not work in this bay according to ASUS support.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a m.2 and a sata shhd in the laptop. I took my bottom panel off to apply better thermal compound. I undid all the screws and started to pry up near the hinges in the back and it just started to pop off. included a pic of the inside.
