M.2 is the connector, so the slots are the same. Some motherboards might accept SATA, but not always PCIe. Check your manual. Newer laptops with the available m.2 storage slot should be able to accommodate PCIe NVMe drive.

Also, make sure that your laptop can accept 2280 drive. Some can only fit m.2 2242, or very rare 2260, which are shorter.
Apple uses a proprietary connector for their SSDs. Looks like M.2 but isn't. On top of that, a few years back they added some sort of encryption to the bus traffic. So far I only know of one company that's managed to reverse engineer it (and it took them nearly 2 years to do it). So they're your only choice for replacement SSDs for Macbooks. Prices are north of 50 cents/GB.

The most recent generation of MBPs have their storage soldered to the motherboard, so can't be upgraded at all. Apple wants you to spend even more money to buy a new laptop.
M.2 connectors look similar but can be keyed different ways, each of which brings a different combination of signals to the connector. The following article describes the differences.

Unfortunately, laptop manufacturers don't always describe what their M.2 slots support. Regarding the Dell 9560, I found one review that says the M.2 slot is a 4-PCIe lane type which should support the SATA interface unless Dell has decided to not implement the full M-key spec

Uh, no. m.2 SATA III uses a different connector than m.2 PCIE NVME.

Wrong. The slots are the same, it just depends if your motherboard supports it or not
