[quote="MAIZHIYING"]Under SSD storage you've selected SATA for m.2 but you need PCIe as its a lot faster see[/quote]

[quote="MAIZHIYING"]They don't seem to have a decent size PCIe, if it was me I'd research it and order without a hard drive and buy a larger PCIe one of possible as its 4x faster at loading But I've never bought a gaming laptop so not sure exactly how they work or why they aren't offering more than 256gb maybe give them an email And enquire Just got one of those fast drives in my PC myself and they truly are amazing[/quote]
