There's an empty M.2 slot, which can accept a 2280 form factor "gumstick" NVME SSD (but not a SATA M.2). Spend $40 more to get one & make it as the system drive. It will greatly improve the performance of this laptop.
The 1TB "old" HDD could be kept and used as media storage…

AND: This is a 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake processor, so you will probably need this also.

Also for wifi, does it have a second antenna or just 1x1? Was thinking of adding ax200 nic.
I tried everything I could figure out. Windows settings, BIOS settings, etc. gave up and replaced it.
I threw in a Samsung SSD and it's been fine otherwise.

I have bought two Team Group drives so far. The first one died in less than 24 hours. It was a brand-new drive I had purchased for a PC build; was in the process of encrypting the drive when it failed (good time for it to fail, before I was really starting to use it!). The encryption process writes to every bit of the SSD so I suspect the drive itself had a fault that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't encrypted the drive. If I hadn't encrypted the drive, I probably could have used it for quite a while and not discovered the issue until months later. But these drives have a long manufacturer warranty (years) so if it fails after the Newegg/Amazon/retailer return policy expires, you would contact Teamgroup for support.
Since Teamgroup is based in Taiwan, keep in mind a failed drive would likely need to be shipped to them for exchange. Another good reason to encrypt the drive contents, so that they are unable to read any of your data. Just in case you do have to request warranty support, something to keep in mind.
When this drive failed (it was a Teamgroup MP33, purchased from Newegg - https://www.newegg.com/team-group...2033141
I bought the same drive again because I was curious about the quality and wondered if Team Group makes good products. I am not sure what happened to the first one.. guess I got a dud. It was annoying but thankfully it did fail at the right time (while building new system) so the hassle was minimal. I think if you don't need the highest level of performance and the price fits your budget, their products are worth consideration.
Still tempted, but barely use the current laptop (2010 i5 2540m based asus w/8gb). Mostly when traveling, which doesn't happen often anymore.
