nice idea.

the service manual has listed as 256GB or 128GB M.2 SSD, do you think that the Samsung XP941 512GB M.2 NGFF PCIe 2.0 x4 Solid state drive SSD (2280), will work in this laptop and also this memory module, as the service manual just says DDR3L-1600, Samsung original 8GB 204-pin SODIMM, DDR3 PC3L-12800, 1600MHz, do you think this will work?

The ram should work, but the m.2 ssd should be a sata drive, not a pcie.

I'm seriously thinking of buying one of these but the lack of gigabit ethernet is a real pain - I can't imagine much money was saved by leaving it out. My main question concerns RAM. The Skylake processor will handle DDR4 RAM. Does anyone know if the overall system will take DDR4 RAM and benefit from it?

I know it cannot. The RAM slots are keyed for DDR3.

@huffer

Hard drives in the HP Pavilion 15-ak011na Gaming Laptop.

after having some problems with the laptop i ran some tests all passed, i did a hard drive information check.

to my shock there is SATA M.2 SSD installed but instead of a Serial ATA or NVMe PCIe M.2, which have more hard drives that can take more space.

according to the samsung semi-conductor website, they only do upto 192GB, on the SATA M.2

do you know if the laptops will be able to take a 512 GB Serial ATA 6.0 Gbps M.2 SSD or a 250GB 850 EVO M.2 SATA SSD.

thanks
