There is no M.2 slot. Your model may not have the Star Wars appearance but it has the same hardware as the Star Wars models. 

 

The Manual:

 

Manual 

 

mentions an M.2 option but there is nowhere on the motherboard to put one. 

 

inside of Star Wars models-no M.2 slotinside of Star Wars models-no M.2 slot

 

Max memory is 16 gigs (2 x 8  of DDR3L-1600 SO-DIMM and you can see the two slots in the picture above. 

 

Any standard OEM type memory will work Samsung, Hynix, or Crucial is a good option. 

 

Memory module (DDR3L-1600):
8-GB 693374-005
