I have my laptop open as I'm trying to replace a display cable that was cut in half due to HP's superior hinge construction and noticed what appears to be an M.2 slot sitting unoccupied. How could laptop have an M.2 slot yet not have it mentioned in any of the product guides or spec sheets available? I'm flabbergasted at the complete absence of information on the board and laptop specifically, maybe that can be addressed after HP figures out hinges.

And why label it SSD1 and not m.2?
