I know that the battery is replaceable and the RAM is upgradeable, but is there anything else that falls under either of those two categories, like maybe the storage?


The storage looks like an M.2 from the pictures I can see online, but is it something that can be upgraded without compromising the machine’s integrity (like Apple’s T2-linked drives in the MacPro5,1)? If it is upgradeable, what keying is it (If I want a replacement drive)?


I’m wanting to put 20GB (or 36GB if it can take a 32GB SO-DIMM) of RAM and a 1TB or 2TB drive in this laptop, because I’m a big spender I guess. I know that’s overkill, but I think I have the cash to spare, and I want to just never have to worry about it.
