Good afternoon. I would like to know if this laptop supports M2 connector for SSD?
I would not want to take it apart to look inside.
Thanks.

Hi:

 

According to the service manual, it has a M.2 slot for a SATA SSD, but you have to take the entire notebook apart and remove the motherboard to get to the M.2 slot.

 

Not worth the effort for only the same SATA speed when replacing the 2.5" hard drive with a 2.5"  SSD would be just as good, and a whole lot easier to do.

 

Below is the link to the service manual, see chapter 6.
