[iLEO]

I am asking about this specific type of the latest Victus 16 laptop (r1058nt) with i5-14500HX and RTX4050 .

The internal storage is just 512GB, so upgrade is absolutely necessary, could you tell me is thers is a 2nd M.2 slot available in the laptop ?

Base on the manual, it has Primary storage but NO Secondary storage. Many users actually opened the machine and confirmed NO provision for secondary storage.

Hi ILEO!

Your laptop is a refresh of the previous 16-r0000 Victus. It uses a 14th gen intel instead of the previous 13th gen. Believe it or not, Intel has codenamed 14th gen as "Raptor Lake Refresh" so that means your laptop is a refresh and uses a CPU refresh. Should be exactly the same as the original 16-r0000 in all other aspects.

The 13th gen series, according to its specifications sheet, DID HAVE DUAL STORAGE but only if the more powerful Intel-HX CPUs were used.

HP customers that actually had Victuses with these powerful CPUs opened up their laptops and found out that there were TWO (2) SSD slots..... https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/SSD-maximum-capacity/td-p/9001... 

Furthermore, reviews showed that the specifications sheet was accurate:

Review of 13700H model (Laptopmedia)

Review of 13500HX model (Notebookcheck)

To sum it all up: Your laptop is a Refresh of the previous 16-r0000 Victus and uses a performance Intel-HX Raptor Lake Refresh. Although HP has no official documentation for the 16-r1000 "Refreshed refreshes", unless it has decided to completely abandon secondary storage (seriously doubt it) then you HAVE TWO (2) m.2 SSD slots on your 14500HX laptop.......
