This is the PS42 Modern 8RC (https://www.msi.com/Laptop/PS42-8RX/Specification) I am guessing that Best Buy specked the smaller ssd who knows why..? FYI, I pulled the Kingston 256MB ssd out and installed a BPXP 1TB ssd.. You need to be able to clone the original drive to the replacement externally; then install newly cloned ssd. Note, I purchased a (M.2 NVME SSD Enclosure Adapter, USB 3.1 Gen 2) and used Macrium Reflect cloning software. The access is not the easiest, but doable if you take your time. I had no problems, plug and play after the cloning completed.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Bestbuy special. So the specs are a little off than what is out there "main stream" additionally the drive is partitioned oddly so be preapred for that aswell. This is the one with more video ram than the main steam ones though..so pros and cons.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had issues finding specs originally, but there are actually more versions of this laptop than you'd think. There's a chart / table you can find on MSI's website ( https://us.msi.com/Laptop/PS42-Intel-8th-Gen/Specification ) that contains all configurations of this laptop. This one (The PS42 Modern-074) does indeed exist; 256 gig SSD, with a GTX 1050. Almost every online review of this laptop is for one of the earlier versions, usually with an MTX150 and a 512 gb SSD, so keep that in mind.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
