If you don't see your Model listed which was the case for me Click on Instant Chat. I got a live human being. I told her my Model Number was GWTN156-5BL and she said that the drivers are the same as GWTN156-2. I also had to give her my serial number.
Lastly I asked about the SSD slots, and here's the response I got.
Main slot is PCIe/SATA with a max drive of 256
Secondary slot is SATA with a max drive of 256
For a max total of 512
Please post your, if you were able to stuff a bigger drive into either slot.
Good Luck

Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
I've had the blue one for about a month or so and I like it very much. The track pad is garbage, otherwise I don't have much to complain about. Oh, the power button is where "delete" goes so expect to punk yourself a few times.
I like the feel of it, the metal feeling lid helps it not feel super cheap.
I use it for prepping 3d models for my printer, and it's very good at what I ask it to do.
BTW it does charge via USB c despite it saying data only.
Are you claiming that Ice Lake CPUs do not suffer any performance degradation due to vulnerability variants mitigations through microcode? If yes what you linked doesn't say that. If you can provide an investigative article link that specifies this explicitly it would be great for everyone to read. What I read so far suggests otherwise.
What I linked says pretty explicitly that Intel fixed the issue both in software (eventually with minimal performance loss to that generation's processors) and hardware. "On 8 October 2018, Intel is reported to have added hardware and firmware mitigations regarding Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities to its latest processors.[13]"
You have not really linked anything suggesting otherwise past 2018, so let me understand what you are trying to assert: that for the processors released over a year after Intel released their final software fixes for Meltdown, that the benchmarks run independently on these processors (again, over a year after the final fixes) should be adjusted by some percentage (30% you claim) because of one benchmark reported in 2018 (again, over a year prior to the release of the processor, the bugfix, and the benchmark being run) in one of the first bugfix releases?

This laptop has an extra M.2 slot but it doesn't work with the NVME type of SSD ! I tried it before.

I've had the blue 14in for a while. It's a value laptop. If you can't understand that, feel free to spend more.
My observations:
Charges via USB-C pretty fast depending on your charger.
Foresee is SSD, not NVMe.
I put a NVMe into 2nd slot, no go. Put it into primary - works fine. Put Foresee into 2nd slot, works fine/both at same time.
No 4k via HDMI, only 1080P. At 4k it detects but won't send display.
Fan is kind of loud. I'm ok w/that b/c my work laptop is a freaking jet engine

If it's the same as the Intel based ones, then it does - but for me it was only on the primary slot. So the SATA one got put in the exposed slot. Meaning to get NVME to work, the whole back cover is coming off. It's not too bad.
Is there anyway to get video output to 4k? This was one of my big reasons for getting it as I stream to my tv and my old laptop is starting to have graphical issues
