Hey guys... Old laptop but works great so going to clean it up for the workshop for streaming music, YouTube and sending gcode to a cnc machine. 

 

Just found out it has 2 hard drive slots which will be useful, but also has a slot for something else... Not sure if a tv tuner card? Or maybe an M2 SSD drive slot? I found this image online, shows where the two 2.5" drives go, then just to the right of those a slot for a card of some kind. Anyone know what it's for...

No, it does not have M.2 slot for storage. It's a bit old to have this bit of hardware.

 

Regards.
