A:AnswerYes. 2 x (PCIe® 3.0 NVMe™ M.2 SSD).
You may remove and install 2 M.@ sticks.. and 2 ram sticks.
PCIe 3 I recommend:
- Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB M.2 NVMe Interface PCIe 3.0 x4
Some PCIe 4 ssd's can clock down to PCIe 3.
Like WD Black SN850X
...and replacable RAM (DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM x 2)
A:AnswerOf course it is not common. However, I have found that with newer machines, including this one and my new work laptop (HP Z book), the screen is black for what seems like an eternity (maybe 30 seconds) on a cold boot. This is normal.
A:AnswerThe laptop has Gen 3 slots so you won't get the gen 4 speeds but you can still use the drive. If you haven't bought it yet I'd go for something cheaper but the 980 pro is a great drive for the PS5. That is what I'm using for that.
A:AnswerIt is membrane. It does have a nice feel. I purchased an external mechanical keyboard because I intend to use the laptop with the cover closed at least some of the time. ($120; individual key RGB; replaceable keycaps; hot-swappable switches) - so I don't this should be a deal killer
